Question

Solve for x.4(1+3x)=5(x-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(1+3x)=5(x-2)

4+12x=5x-10

12x-5x=-10-4

7x= -14 (after divide 7 on both sides)

7x/7 = -14/7

x=  -2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4(1+3x)=5(x-2)

4+12x=5x-10

4+12x-5x=-10

4+7x=-10

7x=-10-4

7x=-14

x=-14/7
