Question

How can I solve 5(x-4)=3x-6

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First expand the expression in the LHS. Then we get

5x - 20 = 3x - 6

5x - 3x - 20 = 3x - 3x - 6  subtract 3x from both sides.

2x   -20 + 20 = 20 - 6      add 20 to both sides

2x               = 14

2x/2            = 14/2            divide both sides by 2

x                  = 7

hope it helps and if it does, please mark me brainliest...

Answer 2

you can solve this by distributing the 5 so it would be 5x-20=3x-6 then add 20 to both sides and you get 5x=3x+14 then subtract 3x from both sides to get 2x=14 then divide both sides by 2 to get x=7

The answer is x=7
