Solve 3(2x - 1) = 4x + 5
OK, we going step by step. What is the first thing you need to do?
idk
evaluate
do you know PEMDAS
no-
like i said SLOW
Start wit the ()
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 3(2x−1)=4x+5 (3)(2x)+(3)(−1)=4x+5(Distribute) 6x+−3=4x+5 6x−3=4x+5 Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides. 6x−3−4x=4x+5−4x 2x−3=5 Step 3: Add 3 to both sides. 2x−3+3=5+3 2x=8 Step 4: Divide both sides by 2. 2x 2 = 8 2 x=4 x=4 is the answer. also how many accounts do you have Cayden bruh..-

Parentheses Exponents Multiplication and Division (from left to right) Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
So your going to do Parentheses first
So the first step would be to Distribute \(3(2x−1)=4x+5\) \((3)(2x)+(3)(−1)=4x+5\) \(6x+−3=4x+5\) \(6x−3=4x+5\) Then next we would have to get \(4x\) and subtract it from both of the sides of the equation \(6x−3−4x=4x+5−4x\) \(2x−3=5\) Then get the 3 and add it to both sides of the equation So \(+3\) to both sides \(2x−3+3=5+3\) \(2x=8\) Next we divide both sides by 2 (because it says \(2x\)) \(\LARGE\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{8}{2}\) So then \(\frac{2x}{2}\) cancels So all you have left is \(\frac{8}{2}\) Simplify that then you'll have your answer \(x=?\)
well there you go. There's the answer
oh uh soo whats the answer
I told you what you have to do to get the answer You have to simplify \(\frac{8}{2}\)
Cayden work it out, I already gave it please review it correctly.
ok
