Question

$$70=60+40-2x$$

Solve for x

$x=15$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $60$ and $40$ to get $100$.

$$70=100-2x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$100-2x=70$$

Subtract $100$ from both sides.

$$-2x=70-100$$

Subtract $100$ from $70$ to get $-30$.

$$-2x=-30$$

Divide both sides by $-2$.

$$x=\frac{-30}{-2}$$

Divide $-30$ by $-2$ to get $15$.

$$x=15$$
