Question

Which of these is a solution to the equation 2( x – 5) = 9 – 3 x + 6 + 8 + 3 x + 7? x = 80 x = 20 x = 40 x = 10

Answer 1

The solution to the equation is x = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 2( x – 5) = 9 – 3 x + 6 + 8 + 3 x + 7

2x - 10 = 30

2x = 30+10

2x = 40

x = 40/2

x = 20
