Question

Can someone explain to me how to do this...
2(x −3) + 5x = 4x −15

Answer 1

@dude @NOpanda14

Answer 2

Distribute the “2” to the inside of the parentheses

Answer 3

2x - 6 + 5x = 4x - 15

Answer 4

Add 6 to both sodes

Answer 5

2x + 5x = 4x - 21

Answer 6

Combine like terms

Answer 7

7x = 4x - 21... Subtract 4x from both sides now?

Answer 8

7x=4x-21 then you will subtract 4x

Answer 9

Which leaves you with 3x=-21 then you divide by 3 to get x=?

Answer 10

Okay soo... 3x = -21 sooo its -7

Answer 11

Correct. x=-7 is your final answer
