Question

9–5(x+4)=3(2–x) help!!!!!1

Answer 1

Answer:

-17/2 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

9–5(x+4)=3(2–x)

Distribute

9 - 5x - 20 = 6 -3x

Combine like terms

-5x-11 = 6-3x

Add 5x to each side

-5x-11 +5x = 6-3x+5x

-11 = 6+2x

Subtract 6 from each side

-11-6 = 6+2x-6

-17 = 2x

Divide by 2

-17/2 = 2x/2

-17/2 =x

Answer 2

23=-8x

divide by 8

x=4
