Question

4(3x+5)=6(x+8)-x someone please help me with this equation

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

4(3x+5)=6(x+8)-x

Distribute

12x +20 = 6x +48 -x

Combine like terms

12x+20 = 5x+48

Subtract 5x from each side

12x-5x +20 = 5x-5x+48

7x +20 = 48

Subtract 20 from each side

7x+20-20 = 48-20

7x = 28

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 28/7

x = 4

Answer 2

12x + 20 = 6x + 48 + -x
12x + 20 = 5x + 48
7x + 20 = 48
7x = 28
x = 4
