Question

Solve: −2(2x + 5) − 3 = −3(x − 1) help?

Answer 1

First distribute:
-4x-10-3 = -3x+3

Then solve:
-4x -13 = -3x+3
-x-13=3
-16 = x

Answer 2

−2(2x + 5) − 3 = −3(x − 1)
-2(x + x - 1 + 6) - 3 = -3(x - 1)
-2x -2(x - 1) - 12 - 3 = -3(x - 1)
-2x + 3(x - 1) - 2(x - 1) - 15 = 0
-2x + x - 1 = 15
-x = 15 + 1
-x = 16
x = -16
