Question

5x+8=3(x+2) anyone know the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

distribute

5 + 8 = 3 ( + 2 )

expand to

 5 + 8 = 3 + 6

subtract 8 from both sides

5 + 8 = 3 + 6

5 + 8 − 8 = 3 + 6 − 8

simplify

5 = 3 − 2

subtract 3 from both sides

5 − 3 = 3 − 2 − 3

simplify

2 = − 2

then divide both sides by 2

2 / 2  = − 2/ 2

= − 2/ 2

answer is

= −1
