Examples with solutions for Simplifying and Combining Like Terms: One sided equations

Exercise #1

7x+4x+5x=0 7x+4x+5x=0

x=? x=\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's combine all the x terms together:

7x+4x+5x=11x+5x=16x 7x+4x+5x=11x+5x=16x

The resulting equation is:

16x=0 16x=0

Now let's divide both sides by 16:

16x16=016 \frac{16x}{16}=\frac{0}{16}

x=016=0 x=\frac{0}{16}=0
