Add the two equations 2x+6 and 6x-1

The sum of the two equations is 8x + 5 and the value of x is - 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's add these two equations and solve for x:

2x + 6 + 6x - 1 = 0

8x + 5 = 0

8x = - 5

x = - 5/8

The sum of the two equations is 8x + 5 and x = - 5/8

Sum = 8x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to add the following equations

2x+6 & 6x-1

So, the sum of the equations

= (2x + 6) + (6x - 1) ⇒ Combine like terms.

= (2x + 6x) + (6 - 1)

= 8x + 5

So, the result of adding the equations 2x+6 and 6x-1 is 8x + 5
