To figure this out simply divide 22 by 2, 11, so therefore 11+11=22. subtract 3 from 11, add 3 to the other 11 because 3+3=6, making the correct answer 8+14=22.

You could also set up the equation

x + x - 6 = 22
2x -6 = 22
2x = 28
x = 14

Since x is 14 then the other number is 14 - 6 = 8

The numbers are 14 and 8

$2x - 6 + 3 = 6x - 5$

$2x - 3 = 6x - 5$

$6x - 5 = 2x - 3$

Add sides 5

$6x - 5 + 5 = 2x - 3 + 5$

$6x = 2x + 2$

Subtract sides 2x

$- 2x + 6x = - 2x + 2x + 2$

$4x = 2$

Divide sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{2}{4} \\$

$x = \frac{1}{2} \\$

_________________________________

CHECK :

$2( \frac{1}{2} ) - 3 = 6( \frac{1}{2} ) - 5 \\$

$1 - 3 = 3 - 5$

$- 2 = - 2$

Thus the solution is correct....

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4 (4x +5) + 13

S_A_V [24]

Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13

(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)

-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0

There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.

(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
