Solve each equation:
1. 3x + 5 - 6x = 3 - x
(3-6)x+5=3-x
-3x+5=3-x
-3x+3x+5=3-x+3x
5=3+2x
5-3=3-3+2x
2=2x
2/2=2x/2

Check by substituting 1 in for x and seeing if the sides of the equation equal.
3(1)+5-6(1)=3-(1)
3+5-6=3-1
2=2 we're right!!!
:
2. 3 - (1/5)(x) = 2




Check:



2=2 we're right!!!
:
3. x - .2x = 6.4
Clear the decimals by multiplying everything by 10.





Check:
8-.2(8)=6.4
8-1.6=6.4
6.4=6.4 we're right again.
Happy Calculating!!!
