Question

10) 3x + 5(4x – 3) = -61 A) -2 B) -4 C) 6 D) -11

Answer 1

Answer:

A)  -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5(4x-3)= -61

(Distrbute the 4)

3x+20x-15= -61

(Add like terms)

23x-15= -61

(Add opposite)

23x+(-15)= -61

(Do inverse opporation and add 15 which cancels 15 and add it to -61)

23x= -46

(Divide 23 to both sides)

X= =2

Answer 2

3x + 5(4x-3) = -61
3x + 20x - 15 = -61
23x - 15 = -61
23x divided by -46
the answer is A) -2
