Answer:
x = -9.375
im not sure if i interpreted the times symbol right
step-by-step explanation:
2x + 30 = (30/10) • 5(2x + 3) + 87
2x + 30 = 3 • 10x + 15 + 87
2x + 30 = 105 • 10x
-2x -2x
30 = 105 • 8x
-105 -105
-75 = 8x
/8 /8
-9.375 = x ?
First group the coefficients together on their side of the equal sign.
-x + 3x = 2x.
Then, since it is a positive number, subtract it from that side and the other side.
On the other side, the x becomes -x.
Add the 6 from the other side to the 8 to make 14.
14 = -x
Divide both sides by -1, to get the answer.
x = -14
The correct answer is 8/x + 4.
The simplest form of that expression is -2y^2-64-54
