Answer 9

5(2x - 1) - 3 = 2(4x - 1) --- distribute through the parenthesis
all that means is multiply the number outside of the parenthesis by everything inside the parenthesis.
So basically your problem is :
5 * 2x - 5 * 1 - 3 = 2 * 4x - 2 * 1
10x - 5 - 3 = 8x - 2 -- combine like terms
10x - 8 = 8x - 2 -- subtract 8x from both sides
10x - 8 - 8x = 8x - 8x - 2 -- combine terms
2x - 8 = -2 -- now add 8 to both sides
2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8
2x = 6 -- divide both sides by 2
x = 3

check
5(2(3) - 1) - 3 = 2(4(3) - 1)
5(6 - 1) - 3 = 2(12 - 1)
5(5) - 3 = 2(11)
25 - 3 = 22
22 = 22 (correct)

so x = 3

Answer 14

oooppppsss....wrote the problem wrong...sorry
5(2x - 1) - 3 = 2(4x + 1)
10x - 5 - 3 = 8x + 2
10x - 8 = 8x + 2
10x - 8x = 2 + 8
2x = 10
x = 5

your right...x = 5
I am so sorry
