(1): 6x + 29 = 5
1. -4
2. -18
3. 204
4. -144***
______
(2): Combine like turns
-21a + 16a
1. -5a
2. 5a***
3. 37a
4. -37a
_______
#1 Does 6(-144) = 5?
I don't think so
Subtract 29 from both sides, then divide by 6
#2 -21+16 = -5, not 5
Both are wrong.
6x + 29 = 5
Subtract 29 from both sides
6x = -24
x = -24/6
x = ______
Try the second one yourself. Be sure you know what like terms are.
(1): To solve the equation 6x + 29 = 5, we need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: First, subtract 29 from both sides of the equation.
6x + 29 - 29 = 5 - 29
6x = -24
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x.
6x/6 = -24/6
x = -4
Therefore, the correct answer is 1. -4.
(2): To combine like terms -21a and 16a, we need to add the coefficients.
Step 1: Rewrite the equation.
-21a + 16a
Step 2: Add the coefficients of the like terms.
-21a + 16a = -5a
Therefore, the correct answer is 1. -5a.
(1) To solve the equation 6x + 29 = 5, we need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Subtract 29 from both sides of the equation to move the constant term to the other side.
6x + 29 - 29 = 5 - 29
6x = -24
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x.
6x/6 = -24/6
x = -4
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: -4.
(2) To combine like terms in the expression -21a + 16a, we need to add or subtract the coefficients of the same variable, in this case, 'a'.
Step 1: Combine the coefficients -21a and 16a:
-21a + 16a = (-21 + 16)a
-5a
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: -5a.
