Question 1: \( 5x - 4x = 15 \)
Step 1: Simplify left side
Simplify \( 5x - 4x \) to \( x \).
\( x = 15 \)
Step 1: Combine like terms
\( (-5x + 5x) + (2x - 6x - 12x) = 0 + (-16x) = -16x \)
Step 2: Solve for \( x \)
\( -16x = -16 \), divide both sides by -16: \( x = 1 \)? Wait, no, wait: Wait, \( -5x +5x =0 \), \( 2x -6x = -4x \), \( -4x -12x = -16x \). So \( -16x = -16 \), so \( x = 1 \)? But the handwritten answer is \( x=-1 \). Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's recalculate: \( -5x +5x = 0 \), \( 2x -6x = -4x \), \( -4x -12x = -16x \). So \( -16x = -16 \), so \( x = 1 \). But the handwritten answer is \( x=-1 \). Wait, maybe the original equation is different? Wait, the equation is \( -5x +5x +2x -6x -12x = -16 \). Let's compute coefficients: \( -5 +5 +2 -6 -12 = (-5+5) + (2 -6 -12) = 0 + (2 -18) = -16 \). So \( -16x = -16 \), so \( x = 1 \). But the choices: Choice A is \( x=1 \) GREEN, Choice B is \( x=-1 \) ORANGE. Wait, maybe the equation was written wrong? Or maybe I miscalculated. Wait, let's check again: \( -5x +5x = 0 \), \( 2x -6x = -4x \), \( -4x -12x = -16x \). So \( -16x = -16 \) → \( x = 1 \). So the correct answer is A? But the handwritten answer is \( x=-1 \). Maybe a typo. But according to the equation, \( x=1 \).
Step 1: Distribute 3
\( 3x - 18 = 6 \)
Step 2: Add 18 to both sides
\( 3x = 6 + 18 = 24 \)
Step 3: Divide by 3
\( x = \frac{24}{3} = 8 \)
Wait, but the handwritten answer is \( x=5 \). Wait, let's recalculate: \( 3(x -6)=6 \) → \( x -6 = 2 \) (divide both sides by 3) → \( x = 8 \). So the correct answer is C. \( x=8 \) YELLOW.
