Question

What is 6(x+3)=2(2x+5)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -4 ;

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x+3)=2(2x+5)

Distribution

6x+18 = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x on both sides

2x+18 = 10

Subtract 18 on both sides

2x = -8

Divided by 2

x = -4

Now if we have to substitute the value of X

6(-4+3)=2(-8+5)

Parenthesis first

6(-1) = 2(-3)

-6 = -6
