Question

8x-5(4x+3)-(3-2x)=4-4(2x-3)-(9-3x)

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8x−5(4x+3)−(3−2x)=4−4(2x−3)−(9−3x)

8x−5(4x+3)+−1(3−2x)=4−4(2x−3)+−1(9−3x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

8x+−5(4x+3)+(−1)(3)+−1(−2x)=4+−4(2x−3)+(−1)(9)+−1(−3x)

8x+−5(4x+3)+−3+2x=4+−4(2x−3)+−9+3x

8x+(−5)(4x)+(−5)(3)+−3+2x=4+(−4)(2x)+(−4)(−3)+−9+3x(Distribute)

8x+−20x+−15+−3+2x=4+−8x+12+−9+3x

(8x+−20x+2x)+(−15+−3)=(−8x+3x)+(4+12+−9)(Combine Like Terms)

−10x+−18=−5x+7

−10x−18=−5x+7

Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.

−10x−18+5x=−5x+7+5x

−5x−18=7

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−5x−18+18=7+18

−5x=25

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

−5x −5 = 25 −5

x=−5
