Question

Solve for x. Will name branliest. 5(x−8)=7(x−4)

Answer 1

Answer: -6 = x

Step-by-step explanation: Start by distributing through the parentheses

on each side of the equation to get 5x - 40 = 7x - 28.

Now move your x's to the right and

numbers to the right and you get -12 = 2x.

Divide both sides by 2 and -6 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi You

5(x -8) = 7(x -4)

5x - 40 = 7x - 28

5x - 40 + 40 = 7x - 28 + 40

5x = 7x + 12

5x -7x = 7x - 7x +12

-2x = 12

-2x/-2 = 12/-2

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

proving my answer.

5(-6 - 8)

(5×-6)-(5×8)

= -30-40

= -70

7(-6-4)

(7×-6) - (7×4)

-42 - 28

= -70

hope that will help you.
