Eight less than 7 times a number is the same as 4 more than 3 times the number.

7x-8 = 3x+4

Step-by-step explanation: In this case, I'm purposely going to solve for "x".

First you eliminate 3x by subtracting 3x  and it looks like this: 3x

                                                                                                          -3x                                        

Leaving the equation like this 4x-8=4

Then you eliminate 8 by adding 8 and doing the same thing to the other side

Lastly the equation is going to look like this: 4x=12

Then you divide leaving x=3

The answer is x=3

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
