Question

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation. 3x-5(x-4)=-9+5x+15

Answer 1

Answer:

I keep getting no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−4)=−9+5x+15

(5)(x)+(5)(−4)=−9+5x+15(Distribute)

5x+−20=−9+5x+15

5x−20=(5x)+(−9+15)(Combine Like Terms)

5x−20=5x+6

5x−20=5x+6

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

5x−20−5x=5x+6−5x

−20=6

Step 3: Add 20 to both sides.

−20+20=6+20

0=26
