Okay so.....I'm really bad at equations and all that and i need help with just these two problems...

1. -x + 7y - x - 6y + 4x

2. -x - 8x + 7

Thanks!..

2. -x - 8x + 7

7-9x
x=7<U/>
9

x=7

9

You don't have "equations"

well excuse me for not knowing what its called.

well excuse me, but you asked to solve an equation.

To do that we have to know where the equal sign is.
The way it is, we cannot solve it.

No problem! I can help you with these equations. Let's take them one at a time.

First, let's simplify equation 1: -x + 7y - x - 6y + 4x

To start, group like terms together. Like terms have the same variable(s) with the same exponent(s).

So, let's rearrange the equation: (-x - x + 4x) + (7y - 6y)

Now, let's simplify each group of like terms:

-2x + y

And that's the simplified form of equation 1: -2x + y

Now, let's move on to equation 2: -x - 8x + 7

Again, let's group like terms together:

(-x - 8x) + 7

Now, simplify each group:

-9x + 7

So, the simplified form of equation 2 is: -9x + 7

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
