x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we would simplify the left hand side of the equation by expanding the brackets

so 2(4-3x) = 8-6x and

5(2x-3) = 10x-15

This gives the left hand side as 8-6x+10x-15. So the overall equation becomes

8-6x+10x-15 = 20-5x.

Grouping the unknown values on one side and integers on one side of the equation gives us

8-15-20=6x-10x-5x (note the sign changes when numbers and unknown values are moved to the other side of the = sign

Solving further, -27 = -9x i.e x = -27/-9 = 3

Hence x = 3

Two linear equations can have no solutions, exactly one solution or infinitely many solutions. There will be no solution if the lines are parallel on a graph. There will be exactly one solution if the lines intersect each other on a single point. And finally, there will be infinite solutions if the lines overlap each other perfectly.

A single line however has infinite ordered pair solutions as the line travels infinitely in both directions on the coordinate plane. For example, using the equation y=3x, for any real value of x, we will get a real value for y.

Linear inequalities with two variables have infinitely many solutions. We can use the inequality y>3x as an example. For any real value of x, we will get a real value for y.

I hope this helps!
