Ok I have this problem and wanted to know itf its right. If its not please let me know what I did wrong...
-8X-12+29x-39+62-3=15x+2
-8x+29x=-37x
-12-39+62-3=14
-37x+14=15x+2
-22x+2
22/2
x=1/11??
-8X-12+29x-39+62-3=15x+2
-8x + 29x - 15x = 2+12+39-62+3
6x = -6
x=-1
To verify if your solution is correct, let's go through the steps of solving the equation you provided. The equation is:
-8X - 12 + 29x - 39 + 62 - 3 = 15x + 2
Combining like terms on both sides of the equation, we have:
21x + 8 = 15x + 2
To isolate the variable x, we need to move the constant terms to one side and the variable terms to the other side. Let's do that:
21x - 15x = 2 - 8
6x = -6
Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we get:
x = -6/6
x = -1
So, the correct solution to the equation is x = -1.
It seems there was a mistake in your solution where you obtained x = 1/11. The error might have occurred during the simplification steps. When you simplified -37x + 14 = 15x + 2, you obtained -22x + 2, but you forgot to set it equal to zero before dividing by 2. The correct simplification would be -22x + 2 = 0, not -22x + 2. Hence, the correct solution is x = -1, not x = 1/11.
