Question

Solve: 5(3x + 2) -2 = 2 (1 -7x)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-6/29

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(3x+2)−2=2(1−7x)

(5)(3x)+(5)(2)+−2=(2)(1)+(2)(−7x)(Distribute)

15x+10+−2=2+−14x

(15x)+(10+−2)=−14x+2(Combine Like Terms)

15x+8=−14x+2

15x+8=−14x+2

Step 2: Add 14x to both sides.

15x+8+14x=−14x+2+14x

29x+8=2

Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.

29x+8−8=2−8

29x=−6

Step 4: Divide both sides by 29.

29x/29=-6/29

x=-6/29

Answer 2

X = -6/29 is the correct answer
