  1. 1.Open the brackets -(x-1).So it will be x+8x -x+1= 5(x+2)

    2.Now expand the other side which would be 5x+10

    3.Collect all the x terms to one side and all numbers to the other

    4.before the equation was x+8x-x+1=5x+10

       *now it would be like!!

       *x+8x-x-5x=10-1

       *9x-6x=9

       *3x=9

       *x=9/3=3

    don't think that Iam a NERD

    its just Iam an Indian and our syllabus kind of have these stuff


  2. x=3

  3. x + 8x - (x - 1) = 5 (x + 2)

    x + 8x - x + 1 = 5x + 10

    x + 8x - x - 5x = -1 + 10

    3x = 9

    x = 9/3

    x = 3

  4. x+8x-x+1=5x+10

    8x+1=5x+10

    3x-9

    x=3

  5. The first thing to do is work through the parentheses:

    x+8x -(x-1) = 5(x+2)

    becomes:

    x + 8x -x + 1 = 5x + 10

    Combine like terms on the left side:

    8x + 1 = 5x + 10

    Subtract 5x from both sides:

    3x + 1 = 10

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    3x = 9

    Divide both sides by 3:

    x = 3

    Check by substituting 3 back into the original equation:

    3 + (8 * 3) - (3 - 1) = 5(3 + 2)

    3 + 24 - 2 = 5 * 5

    25 = 25


  6. here are the steps:

    x+8x-x+1 = 5x + 10 <------ get rid of parentheses

    8x+1 = 5x+10 <------- simplify

    3x = 9

    x=3

  7. x + 8x -x + 1 = 5x + 10 (distribute negative and 5)

    simplify

    8x + 1 = 5x + 10

    bring exponents to left by subtracting 5x

    3x + 1 = 10

    subtract 1 from both sides

    3x = 9

    divide by 3

    x = 9/3 = 3

    x = 3


  8. x+8x-(x-1)=5(x+2)

    x+8x-x+1=5x+10

    8x+1=5x+10

    3x+1=10

    3x=9

    x=3

    i hope it's help

  9. I assume you're trying to solve for x

    1.  expand everything (negative on the left and the 5 on the right)

    2.  bring all x's on one side of the eq. and all constants (numbers w/o x's) to the other side.

    3. combine x's on there side and constants on the other

    4.  dived the constants by the number of x's you have.


  10. 9x-x+1=5x+2

       ==>    8x+1=5x+10

       ==>    3x=9

       ==>      x=9/3

                     x=3      ans
