Question

5(3x-5)+3(x-2) step by step

Answer 1

(15x-25)+(3x-6)
18x-31
(add 31 to both sides)
18x=31
(divide by 18 to get x alone)
x=31/18

Answer 2

5(3x-5) + 3(x-2)

step 1 : distribute parenthesis

15x - 25 + 3x - 6

step 2 : combine like terms

18x - 31

^^^ that should be your answer if this question is just to simplify the expression . However, if this question was an equation asking you to solve for x and was = to zero ( 18x-31=0) , then the next steps would be tooo...

step 3 : isolate x

18x = 31

step 4 : divide by 18 on both sides

x = 31/18

^^^ soo that would be your answer if they were asking you to solve for x and assuming it was = to zero hahha !


hope this helped c: ~
