Question

What is the solution to the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

8 - 6x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x

Combine like terms:

4x - 7 = 20 - 5x

Isolate Variable

-x = 13

-1(-x) = -1(13)

x = -13

Answer 2

Answer: $x=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to apply Distributive property on the left side of the equation:

$2(4-3x)+5(2x-3)=20-5x\\\\8-6x+10x-15=20-5x$

Now you must add the like terms on the left side of the equation:

$-7+4x=20-5x$

Add $5x$ to both sides:

$-7+4x+5x=20-5x+5x\\\\-7+9x=20$

Add 7 to boht sides of the equation:

$-7+9x+7=20+7\\\\9x=27$

And finally, divide both sides by 9:

$\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{27}{9}\\\\x=3$
