Question

What is the value of x? 3(2X-5)-4x=11

Answer 1

X= 13 Steps: 1) Multiply parentheses by 3. 2) collect like terms. 3) move constants to the right 4) add the numbers. 5) divide both sides by 2 to get X=13

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 13

Explanation:

3(2x−5)−4x=11

• Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

3(2x−5)−4x=11

(3)(2x)+(3)(−5)+−4x=11 (Distribute)

6x+−15+−4x=11

(6x+−4x)+(−15)=11 (Combine Like Terms)

2x+−15=11

2x−15=11

• Step 2: Add 15 to both sides

2x−15+15=11+15

2x=26

• Step 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 26 / 2

x = 13
