6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First distribute the 2 6 = 2x + 16 - 5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then subtract the 5x from 2x 6 = -3x + 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And subtract 16 from 6 -10 = -3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide -3 on both sides 10/3 = x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check: 2((10/3)+8)-5(10/3) = 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/3 = 3.33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 + 0.35x = 20.05

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Get rid of the 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 91.5 B. 57.3 C. 2.8175 D. 23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would you get rid of the 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x/5 + 9 = 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't this a new equation? Have you figured the 2nd one out? In this one subtract 9 from both sides and multiply both sides by 5.
