1) 20 = -5(-3+x)
20/-5 = -3 + x
-4 = -3 + x
-4 + 3 = x
x = -1
2)20 = -5(-3 + x)
20 = 15 - 5x
20 - 15 = - 5x
5 = -5x
5/-5 = x
x = -1

1) First way:

$-5(-3+x) = 20$

=> $15 - 5x = 20$

=> $-5x = 20 -15$

=> $-5x = 5$

=> $x = 5/-5$

=> $x = -1$

2) Second way:

$-5(-3+x)=20$

=> $-3+x = 20/-5$

=> $- 3 + x = -4$

=> $x = -4 + 3$

=> $x = -1$

BRAINLIEST ASAP! Solve for n: –6 (n–8) = 4 (12–5n) + 14n.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

ℝ

Explanation:

–6(n – 8) = 4(12 – 5n) + 14n

–6n + 48 = 48 – 20n + 14n

–6n + 48 = 48 – 6n ☑

These two expressions are EXACTLY the same, therefore all real numbers of n would make this equation true.
