Solve 5x-4+3=2left(x-4right)+x

$$5x-4+3 = 2 \left( x-4 \right) +x$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{7}{2} = -3\frac{1}{2} = -3.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add -4 and 3 to get -1.

$$5x-1=2\left(x-4\right)+x$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-4.

$$5x-1=2x-8+x$$

Combine 2x and x to get 3x.

$$5x-1=3x-8$$

Subtract 3x from both sides.

$$5x-1-3x=-8$$

Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.

$$2x-1=-8$$

Add 1 to both sides.

$$2x=-8+1$$

Add -8 and 1 to get -7.

$$2x=-7$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-7}{2}$$

Fraction \frac{-7}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{7}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{7}{2}$$
