Question

5x + 8(x + 5) = 6(x + 2)
X=

Answer 1

hi there! so the strategy here is to multiply everything out, then collect all the X terms on one side, the constants on the other.

As a first step, let's try multiplying out. What do you get when you multiply 8(x+5)?

Answer 2

x = -4

Answer 3

Answer 5

thanks alot

Answer 6

5x + 8(x + 5) = 6(x + 2)

5x + 8x + 40 = 6x + 12

13x + 40 = 6x + 12

rearrange and bring all x's to one side and numbers to the other side of the '=' sign
so you will get

13x - 6x = 12 - 40

7x = -28

now you divide both sides by 7 to get x by it self

7x / 7 = -28 / 7

x = 4

Answer 7
