Question

$$x-6x+x=122$$

Solve for x

$x = -\frac{61}{2} = -30\frac{1}{2} = -30.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $x$ and $-6x$ to get $-5x$.

$$-5x+x=122$$

Combine $-5x$ and $x$ to get $-4x$.

$$-4x=122$$

Divide both sides by $-4$.

$$x=\frac{122}{-4}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{122}{-4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$x=-\frac{61}{2}$$
