Question

Solve for x 9(x – 2) = 5(2 + x)

Answer 1

(9x^2 - 18x) = (10 +5x)

Answer 2

9(x - 2) = 5(2 + x) -- distribute through the parenthesis
9x - 18 = 10 + 5x -- subtract 5x from both sides
9x - 5x - 18 = 10 -- add 18 to both sides
9x - 5x = 10 + 18 -- combine like terms
4x = 28 -- divide both sides by 4
x = 7

check..
9(7 - 2) = 5(2 + 7)
9(5) = 5(9)
45 = 45 (correct)

x = 7
any questions ?
