What number should be added to both sides of the equation x − 7/8 = −5x − 7/8 = −5 to find the value of x?(1 point)
the answer is wrong
bruh your giving me false answers
NO ITS NOT BRO
what number should be added to both sides of the equation x - 7/8 = -5 to find the value of x?
To find the value of x, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Let's begin by adding the same number to both sides of the equation. According to the question, the number that should be added to both sides is -7/8.
So, let's add -7/8 to both sides of the equation:
(x − 7/8) + (-7/8) = (-5x − 7/8) + (-7/8)
Simplifying both sides:
x − 7/8 − 7/8 = −5x − 7/8 − 7/8
Now, combine like terms on each side:
x − 14/8 = −5x − 14/8
Next, let's collect the x terms on one side of the equation. In this case, we can add 5x to both sides:
x + 5x − 14/8 = −5x + 5x − 14/8
Simplifying both sides:
6x − 14/8 = 0 − 14/8
Now, combine like terms on each side:
6x − 14/8 = -14/8
To further simplify, we can convert the fractions to a common denominator:
6x − 7/4 = -7/4
Finally, let's isolate the variable x by adding 7/4 to both sides:
6x − 7/4 + 7/4 = -7/4 + 7/4
Simplifying both sides:
6x = 0
To get the value of x, divide both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 0/6
This simplifies to:
x = 0
Therefore, the value of x is 0.
the answer is 7/8 pls dont ask the bot math questions he will be wrong
To find the value of x, we need to simplify the equation by combining like terms.
Equation:
x - 7/8 = -5x - 7/8
To simplify the equation, we can add 5x to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -5x term on the right side of the equation.
Adding 5x to both sides:
x + 5x - 7/8 = -5x + 5x - 7/8
6x - 7/8 = 0
Now, we need to add 7/8 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -7/8 term on the left side of the equation.
Adding 7/8 to both sides:
6x - 7/8 + 7/8 = 0 + 7/8
6x = 7/8
To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 6.
Dividing both sides by 6:
(6x)/6 = (7/8)/6
x = 7/48
Therefore, the value of x is 7/48.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly.
Given equation:
x - 7/8 = -5x - 7/8
To find the value of x, we need to combine like terms on the same side of the equation.
Combining like terms on the left side:
x - 7/8 + 5x = -7/8
Combining like terms on the left side:
6x - 7/8 = -7/8
To isolate x, we need to add 7/8 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -7/8 term on the right side.
Adding 7/8 to both sides:
6x - 7/8 + 7/8 = -7/8 + 7/8
Simplifying:
6x = 0
Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:
6x/6 = 0/6
x = 0
Therefore, the value of x is 0.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the equation correctly this time.
Given equation:
x - 7/8 = -5x - 7/8
To find the value of x, we need to combine like terms on the same side of the equation.
Combining like terms on the left side:
x - 7/8 + 5x = -7/8
Combining like terms on the right side:
6x - 7/8 = -7/8
To isolate x, we need to add the same number to both sides of the equation.
To eliminate the -7/8 term on the right side, we need to add 7/8 to both sides.
Adding 7/8 to both sides:
6x - 7/8 + 7/8 = -7/8 + 7/8
Simplifying:
6x = 0
Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:
6x/6 = 0/6
x = 0
Therefore, the value of x is 0.
Apologies for the repeated error. Let's solve the equation correctly.
Given equation:
x - 7/8 = -5x - 7/8
To find the value of x, we need to combine like terms on the same side of the equation.
Combining like terms on the left side:
x - 7/8 = -5x - 7/8
To eliminate the constant term (-7/8) on both sides, we can add 7/8 to each side:
x - 7/8 + 7/8 = -5x - 7/8 + 7/8
This simplifies to:
x = -5x
To solve for x, we can add 5x to both sides:
x + 5x = -5x + 5x
This simplifies to:
6x = 0
Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:
(6x)/6 = 0/6
x = 0/6
Therefore, the value of x is 0/6, or simply 0.
