Question

Solve for the variable: 3(x+2) - 9 = 15 - 4(5x - 2)

Answer 1

X = 26/23. Hope it helps

Answer 2

$\tt 3(x+2)-9=15-4(5x-2)$

To solve this equation, let's apply the distributive property:-

Multiple 3 by ( x+2)/ Subtract 9 from 6 = -3/ and then use the distributive property to multiply −4 by (5x-2) :-

$\tt 3x - 3=15 - 20x+8$

Add 15 and 8 = 23

$\tt 3x - 3=23 - 20x$

Now, add 20x to both sides:-

$\tt 3x - 3=23 - 20x$

Combine like terms:-

$\tt 23x-3=23$

Add 3 to both sides:-

$\tt 23x=23+3$

$\tt 23x=26$

Divide both sides by 23:-

$\tt \: x = \dfrac{26}{23}$
