Solve 5x + 3x - 6 = 42

The answer to your question is x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation                   5x + 3x - 6 = 42

Process

Step 1. Add 6 units in both sides

                                 5x + 3x - 6 + 6 = 42 + 6

Step 2. Simplify

                                  5x + 3x = 48

Step 3. Simplify like terms

                                         8x = 48

Step 4. Divide by 8 both sides

                                        8x/8 = 48/8

Step 5. Simplify

                                          x = 6

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

step-by-step explanation:

to find if any function is an inverse of the other, put the first equation in as x in the next one. then simplify and solve. if at the end you get the statement y = x, then it is an inverse. if you get anything else, it is not.
