In this question we have given with an equation that is 4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 ). And we are asked to solve this equation that means we have to find the value of x.

Solution : -

 $\quad \longrightarrow \: 4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )$ 

Step 1 : Removing parenthesis :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - 8 = 18x + 6$

Step 2 : Adding 8 from both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - \cancel{ 8 }+ \cancel{8} = 18x + 6 + 8$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x = 18x + 14$

Step 3 : Subtracting 18 from both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - 18x = \cancel{18x }+ 14 - \cancel{18}$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:2x = 14$

Step 4 : Dividing with 2 on both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \: \frac{ \cancel{ 2}x}{ \cancel{2}} = \cancel{\frac{14}{2} }$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \: \blue{\boxed{ \frak{x = 7}}}$

Therefore, solution of this equation is 7 or we can say that value of this equation is 7 .

Verifying : -

We are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in given equation. So ,

4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )

4 [ 5 ( 7 ) - 2 ] = 2 [ 9 ( 7 ) + 3 ]

4 ( 35 - 2 ) = 2 ( 63 + 3 )

4 ( 33 ) = 2 ( 66 )

132 = 132

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, Verified.

Therefore, our value for x is correct .

Answer:

$2.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 Tomatoes cost $1.29

Then let's first find how much is 1 Tomatoes.

To do that we have to divide Cost by # of Tomatoes

3/1.29 = 0.43

Thus, 1 Tomatoes Cost 0.43

Now, the question is: How much will 5 tomatoes cost?

Therefore, 0.43 * 5 =2.15

Hence, 5 Tomatoes cost $2.15
