Question

5x-(x +3)=1/3(9x+18)-5

Answer 1

Here is the answer with the work shown

Answer 2

One solution was found :

                  x = -8

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

               5*x-(x+3)-(1/3*(9*x-18)-5)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           1

Simplify   —

           3

Equation at the end of step  1  :

               1                  

 (4x - 3) -  ((— • (9x - 18)) -  5)  = 0  

               3                  

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  9x - 18  =   9 • (x - 2)  

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 (4x - 3) -  (3 • (x - 2) -  5)  = 0  

Step  4  :

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 x + 8  = 0  

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

5.1      Solve  :    x+8 = 0  

Subtract  8  from both sides of the equation :  

                     x = -8

One solution was found :

                  x = -8
