2(x+3)=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distribute 2 to the brackets...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x + 2(3) = 5 2x + 6 = 5 2x = -1 x = -1/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a(b+c) \implies a \cdot b + a \cdot c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-1

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

x=-1/2 is correct.

thnks a lot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you want to verify then put x = -1/2 in the equation above and check if you are getting left hand side equal to right hand side..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step1: 2x + 6 = 5 subtract 6 on both sides 2x + 6 - 6 = 5 - 6 2x = -1 Step2: divide by 2 on both sides x = -1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow.. Well Done...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks a lot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Welcome dear..
