Question

What is the value of x in the equation 32(4x – 1) – 3x = 54 – (x + 2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

32(4x – 1) – 3x = 54 –(x + 2)

⇒ 32×4x-32-3x= 54-x-2   (using the distributive property)

⇒ 128x-32-3x=54-x-2

Taking terms on x on one side and constant term on other, we get

128x-3x+x= 54-2+32

⇒ 126x= 84

⇒ x= 84/126

⇒ x= 2/3

ik this might not make sense but hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

32(4x - 1) - 3x = 54 - (x+2) : Do 32 times 4 and -1 as well as -1 times x and 2

128x - 32 - 3x = 54 - x - 2 : Combine like terms

125x - 32 = 52 - x : Add x to both sides

126x - 32 = 52 : Add 32 to both sides

126x = 84 : Divide both sides by 126

x = 0.666666667 : Round to the tenth

x = 0.67 : Final answer
