Question

Solve. 6-8 (x+3)+5x=5x-(2x-5)+13

Answer 1

6-8x-24+5x=5x-2x+5+13
-3x-18=3x+18
-36=6x
x=-36/6
x=-6

Answer 2

x=-6

Answer 3

\[6-8x-24+5x=5x-2x+5+13\]
Group everything in x on the left hand side of the equation and everything without x on the right hand side.
\[-8x+2x=18+24-6\]
add like items together
\[-6x=36\]
Divide both sides of the equation by -6
\[x=-6\]
Substitute -6 for x to check your answer.
