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

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Simplify both sides of the equation.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

3x−12=5x+10

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Subtract 5x from both sides.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

3x−12−5x=5x+10−5x >>>>>>>>>−2x−12=10

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Add 12 to both sides.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

−2x−12+12=10+12 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>−2x=22

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Divide both sides by -2.

Distribution. :) \[3(x-4)=5(x+2)\\3x-12=5x+10\\-2x-12=10\\\frac{-2x}2=\frac{22}2\\x=-11\]

KjSaif (kjsaif):

−2x/−2 = 22/−2
