Question

Find the value of x in the equation 2(x – 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6).

Answer 1

D is the answer.

First distribute the numbers and combine like terms.

7x - 6 = 10x + 30

Then subtract 7x from both sides.

-6 = 3x + 30

Subtract 30 on both sides.

-36 = 3x

Then divide by 3 on both sides

-12 = x
