Question

3(x - 2) = 5(x + 4)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $x = -13$ .

Explanation:

Solve the equation:

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

Use Distributive Property:

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

$3x - 6 = 5x + 20$

-Subtract $5x$ from $3x$ :

$3x - 6 -5x = 5x -5x + 20$

$-2x - 6 = 20$

-Add both sides by $6$ :

$-2x - 6 + 6 = 20+6$

$-2x = 26$

-Divide both sides by $2$ :

$\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{26}{-2}$

$x = -13$

So, now you have found the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Uh first of all this is algebra but I'll answer this

First distribute the three and 5 (Multiply them by both terms inside parenthesis.

3x-6=5x+20

Then add like terms

8x=14

Divide 8 by 8 and 8 by 14

x = 14/8
