Question

Solve the following equations: 2(3x–1)=9(x–2)–7

Answer 1

Answer:

23/3 or 7 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

23/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$2(3x-1)=9(x-2)-7$

First, distribute the left:

$6x-2=9(x-2)-7$

Now, distribute the right:

$6x-2=9x-18-7$

Subtract on the right:

$6x-2=9x-25$

Subtract 9x from both sides:

$-3x-2=-25$

Add 2 to both sides:

$-3x=-23$

Divide both sides by 3:

$x=23/3\approx7.67$

And we're done!
