Question

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER SOLVES THIS FIRST is the value of 2x+1 twenty greater than 8x+5?

Answer 1

Answer:

this applies only if x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 1 = 20 + 8x + 5

2x + 1 = 8x + 25 (combine like terms and simplify)

1 = 6x + 25 (subtract 2x from both sides)

-24 = 6x (subtract 25 from both sides)

x = -4 (divide 6 from both sides)
