Question

2-3(4-x)=5(2-x)+4x

Answer 1

Okay you start off by doing the order of operation.

Answer 2

Assuming we are solving for x, let's start by distributing the 3 and 5 on both sides.

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

Distribution is simply multiplication.

Answer 5

nvm Nfcfox got it :)

Answer 6

So you can rewrite this as 2-12+3x=10-5x+4x

Answer 7

Now we can simply add like terms. So 2-12= -10 so -10+3x on the left and -5x+4x is -x so 10-x on the wright so it is -10+3x=10-x

Answer 8

Lets add 10 and add the x so we will get 4x=20. Now simply divided 4 to get x= 5,
