Question

how to solve: -4(2x - 5) = 3x -13

Answer 1

~one variable linear equation

==============================

-4(2x - 5) = 3x - 13

= -8x + 20 = 3x - 13

= -8x + 20 - 3x = -13

= -8x - 3x = -13 - 20

= -11x = -13 - 20

= -11x = -33

= x = -33 ÷ -11

= x = 3 ✔️

~ nice to help you ^^

Answer 2

distribute the -4 which would give you -8x+20=3x-13 then combine like terms so add -8x to both sides giving you 20=11x-13 next add 13 to both sides giving you 33=11x and to get your final answer divide both sides by 11 to get x alone giving you x=3
