Question

3(x – 2) + 4x = 10(x + 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-16/3 (-5.33)

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-2)+4x=10(x+1)

3x-6+4x=10x+10

7x-6=10x+10

-6-10=10x-7x

-16=3x

x=-16/3

Answer 2

Answer: $x=-\frac{16}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation $3(x - 2) + 4x = 10(x+ 1)$, you need to solve for the variable "x":

Apply Distributive property:

$3x - 6 + 4x = 10x +10$

Add the like terms:

$7x - 6= 10x+10$

Subtract 10 to both sides of the equation:

$7x - 6-10= 10x +10-10\\\\7x-16=10x$

Subtract $7x$ from both sides:

$7x-16-7x=10x-7x\\\\-16=3x$

And finally divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{-16}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}\\\\x=-\frac{16}{3}$
