find x
-2(3x - 5) = 4(x+3)+8


Sagot :

The answer is x = -1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(You will have to distribute first.)

-2(3x-5)=4(x+3)+8

-6x+10=4(x+3)+8

-6x+10=4(x+3)+8

-6x+10=4x+12+8

(Now you will have to add the numbers.)

6x+10=4x+12+8

-6x+10=4x+20

(Now you will have to subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.)

-6x+10=4x+20

-6+10-10=4x+20-10

(Now you will have to simplify.)

-6x=4x+10

(You will now subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.)

-6x=4x+10

-6x-4x=4x+10-4x

(You will now simplify again.)

-10x=10

(Now divide both sides of the equation by the same term.)

-10x=10

-----   ---- (Dividing -10)

-10  -10

(You will get x=-1 as the answer.)
