Question

-8(6+5x) = 3n - 5 Help please

Answer 1

$\large\green{\tt Correct \: Question :-}$

$\to\tt -8(6+5x) = 3x - 5$

$\large\gray{\tt Answer :-}$

$\implies$ - 1

$\large\blue{\tt Given :-}$

$\to\tt -8(6+5x) = 3x - 5$

$\large\orange{\tt To \: Find :-}$

$\to\tt Value \: of \: \boxed{\bf x}$

$\large\red{\tt Solution :-}$

$:\implies\tt -8(6+5x) = 3x - 5$

$:\implies\tt - 48 - 40x = 3x - 5$

$:\implies\tt - 40x - 3x = - 5 + 48$

$:\implies\tt - 43x = 43$

$:\implies\tt x = \frac{\cancel{43}}{\cancel{-43}}$

$:\implies\tt x = \frac{\cancel1}{\cancel{- 1}}$

$:\implies\tt x = -1$

$\large\pink{\tt Verification :-}$

We have,

$:\implies\tt -8(6+5x) = 3x - 5$

Substituting the value of x,

$:\implies\tt - 48 - 40 \times ( - 1) = 3 \times ( - 1) - 5$

$:\implies\tt - 48 + 40 = - 3 - 5$

$:\implies\tt - 8 = - 8$
