Answer:
- simplifies to 6x+6=-10
- x = -8/3 = -2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4x+2)-6x=5x-5(2+x)
12x +6 -6x = 5x -10 -5x . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
6x +6 = -10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
x +1 = -10/6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
x = -1 - 5/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -1
x = -8/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
