Question

$$18x-100+2x=5x+50$$

Solve for x

$x=10$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $18x$ and $2x$ to get $20x$.

$$20x-100=5x+50$$

Subtract $5x$ from both sides.

$$20x-100-5x=50$$

Combine $20x$ and $-5x$ to get $15x$.

$$15x-100=50$$

Add $100$ to both sides.

$$15x=50+100$$

Add $50$ and $100$ to get $150$.

$$15x=150$$

Divide both sides by $15$.

$$x=\frac{150}{15}$$

Divide $150$ by $15$ to get $10$.

$$x=10$$
