Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing this to the form a+b√5, we see that ...
a = 3/2
b = -1/2
3/8 is bigger than 3/10. In maths 10ths are smaller than 8ths. If both have three parts it means that 3/8 must be bigger
You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
