15-75x=13-50x

I combine like terms first 75x-50x?

doesn't really matter

15-75x = 13-50x
2-75x = -50x
2 = 25x
x = 2/25

15-75x = 13-50x
15 = 13+25x
2 = 25x
x = 2/25

Thank you

To combine like terms, you need to combine the coefficients of the variables. In this case, the like terms are the terms with x, which are -75x and -50x.

To combine these terms, you subtract the coefficients: -75x - (-50x) = -75x + 50x.

To simplify this further, you add the coefficients: -75x + 50x = -25x.

So, 75x - 50x simplifies to -25x.
