Question

How do you solve this equation shown? 5x - 3(x + 9) + 10 = 4

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{21}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x − 3(x+9) + 10 = 4

5x + (−3)(x) + (−3)(9) + 10 = 4 (Distribute)

5x + −3x + −27 + 10 = 4

(5x+−3x) + (−27+10) = 4 (Combine Like Terms)

2x + −17 = 4

2x − 17 = 4

Step 2: Add 17 to both sides.

2x − 17 + 17 = 4 + 17

2x = 21

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{21}{2}$

$x =\frac{21}{2}$

Hope it helps!!
