Question

Solve for x 4(2x+3)=-6+5x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

4(2x+3)=-6+5x

Multiply the bracket by 4

(4)(2x)(4)(3)=-6+5x

8x+12=5x-6

Move 5x to the other side. Sign changes from +5x to -5x.

8x-5x+12=5x-5x-6

8x-5x+12=-6

3x+12=-6

Move 12 to the other side. Sign changes from +12 to -12.

3x+12-12=-6-12

3x=-18

Divide by 3 for both sides

3x/3=-18/3

Cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes x

x=-6

Answer: x=-6
