A. 4.8
B. ­5
C. 3
D. 5

Answer 1

Just have to find x right?

Answer 2

Yes, and I am sure you can!

Answer 3

I know the answer then

Answer 4

x=5

Answer 5

But I have to show how to get it

Answer 6

please....
Can you share your works/steps, please?

Answer 7

I substituted 5 for x, I tried them all first tho, but I have to answer differently

Answer 8

Since I got x=5 and that is right, can you help me get a different equation for it?

Answer 9

Look!!!

\(6(x + 5) + 2 = 8(2x - 5) + 22\)

start with parenthesis:
\(6x + 30 + 2 = 16x - 10 + 22\)

Simplify:
\(6x + 32 = 16x +12\)
\(6x + 32-12 = 16x +12-12\)
\(6x + 20= 16x \)
\(6x + 20-6x= 16x-6x \)
\(20=10x \)
\(20÷10=10x÷10 \)
\(\Large2=x \)

Answer 10

2??

Answer 11

SORRRRRY

6(x+5)+2=8(2x−5)+22

start with parenthesis: 6x+30+2=16x−40+22

Simplify:
6x+32=16x-18
32+18=16x-6x
50=10x
\(x=5\)
