Adverturetime57:

r there answer choices?

Kharma14:

x = -2 x = 115 x = 136 x = 3

new2luv:

you have to get x by itself first

new2luv:

no wait you have to put like factors together am I right

supie3:

alr so the first step would be to distribute \(2(3x – 5) = 8\) distributing is when you multiply what is outside of the parenthesis by everything inside of the parenthesis do you think you can distribute \(a(b-c)=ab-ac\) do you think you can distribute \(2(3x-5)\) ?
