Question

Solve the following: 3x + 5 = 8(6 - 5x) *​

Answer 1

Answer:

$3x + 5 = 8(6 - 5x) \\ 3x + 5 = 48 - 40x \\ collect \: like \: terms \: \\ 3x + 40x = 48 - 5 \\ 43x = 43 \\ x = \frac{43}{43} \\ x = 1$

Answer 2

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 8 and 6 and multiply 8 and 5x which would look like this...

3x+5=48-40x

now we get all the Xs on one side so we do the opposite...

3x+5=48-40x    we add 40 to 3 because opposite of subtract is add...

43x+5=48    subtract 5 from 48 because opposite of add is subtract....

43x+43   simplify

x=1
