Question

solve for x
3(X-5)-4X = 6(X-10) -(X+ 5)

Answer 1

20/3

Answer 2

3(X-5)-4X = 6(X-10) -(X+ 5)

3X-15-4x=6X-60-X-5

-7X-15=5X-65

-12X=-50

X=50/12

Answer 3

sorry

3X-15-4x=6X-60-X-5

-x-15=5X-65

-6X=50

X=-50/6

Answer 4

its +5 not -5

Answer 5

actually -(X+5)-- when distributed --- becomes --- -X-5
so

3(X-5)-4X = 6(X-10) -(X+ 5)

3X-15-4x=6X-60-X-5

-x-15=5X-65

-X-5X= -65+15

-6X=-50

X=50/6

Answer 6

since its in the bracket the negatives sign gets distributed

Answer 7

The minus sign doesnt represent -1 in this case, it is the subtraction of the sum of X + 5, isnt it?

Answer 8

distributive property says if there is a for example 10M-(5X+5)

it will be 10M -5X-5
