Question

Can somebody please help me answer this

Answer 1

Hello!

You solve this algebraically.

2(x - 3) + 4 = 2x + 3x - 5

Distribute the 2

2x - 6 + 4 = 2x + 3x - 5

Combine like terms

2x - 2 = 5x - 5

Subtract 2x from both sides

-2 = 3x - 5

Add 5 to both sides

3 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 1

The answer is D)1

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

If you simplify both sides, then add all the x's to one side, then divide since there would be more than one x, x would equal one.
