Question

What is the solution to the equation 2 (4 minus 3 x) + 5 (2 x minus 3) = 20 minus 5 x?
a. x = –13
b. x = StartFraction 5 Over 4 EndFraction
c. x = StartFraction 13 Over 2 EndFraction
d. x = 3

Answer 1

D. x=3

Do distributive property on the 2(4-3x) and the 5(2x-3) to then get
8-6x+10x-15=20-5x
Then do leave change opposite to get
8+-6x+10x+-15=20+-5x
Then add the -6x+10x= 4x and add 8+-15=-7
-7+4x=20+-5x
Then add 7+20=27 and add 4x+5x=9x
9x=27
Divide 9 from 27
And then you get x=3
