3x-42x-5=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Simplify
3x-42x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
\left(3-42\right)x
Subtract the numbers
-39x
-39x-5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
-39x=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
-39x=5
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
39x=-5
Divide both sides
\frac{39x}{39}=\frac{-5}{39}
Divide the numbers
x=\frac{-5}{39}
Solution
x=-\frac{5}{39}
Alternative Form
x=-0.\dot{1}2820\dot{5}
