What value of x satisfies the equation 5(x – 3) – 2(x + 1) = 4?
hjlf

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve:

Distribute 5 among everything inside the first parentheses. You'll get 5x - 15.

Next distribute -2 among everything in the second parentheses. You'll get

-2x - 2.

<u>All together: 5x - </u><u>15</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>= 4</u>

Now combine like terms:

5x - 2x = 3x and -15 - 2 = - 17

<u>All</u><u> </u><u>together</u><u>: 3x -</u><u> </u><u>17 = 4</u>

Add 17 on both sides to get 21, and then divide both sides by 3. Answer is x = 7.

________________________________

Last, don't forget to check your work.

You can plug in 7 for x to get:

5(7 - 3) = 20

5 × 7 = 35

5 × -3 = -15

35 - 15 = 20

-2(7 + 1) = -16

-2 × 7 = -14

-2 × 1 = - 2

-14 -2 = -16

<u>20 - 16 = 4</u>

⬆⬆⬆Therefore this is correct.

Sorry this is a bit lengthy, but hope this helps :)
