Solve the linear equation. 8x 32=1/5(25x−15)−4x. for x.
1 answer:
There is no sign before 32 is given in the equation. I am showing the work with +32.
8x+32=1/5(25x−15)−4x.
By distribution property.
8x+32=x-3 Combine the like terms.
8x=x-3-32 Subtract 32 from each sides.
8x=x-35 Combine the like terms.
8x-x=-35 Subtract x from each sides.
7x=-35
Divide each sides by 7.
So, x=-5

factoid: Ancient Greeks were scared of irrational numbers, and they steered clear from √2.
