Solve 5(2x + 1) = 12x – 1. You must show all work.

Question

parthkohli · Answer

Distributive property does all the work here.

parthkohli · Answer

$ \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 5(2x) + 5(1) = 12x - 1}$

Then you have a linear equation in a very simple form, which I guess you'd manage.

$$5(2x+1)=12x-1$$ 
$$10x+5=12x-1$$
Collect the like terms!!
$$10x-12x = -1-5$$
The add them!!!
then solve for $x$
