Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.
Step 3: Subtract 18 from both sides.
Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.
Answer:
X = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x+6) = 2(4x-5)
you will need to multiply the outside number to the numbers in the parentheses so now it's: ( I reordered the terms to give you a heads up)
6x + 18 = 8x - 10
Reordered:
18 + 6x = -10 + 8x
Now let's solve for X
18 + 6x = -10 + 8x
Now combine like terms
18 + -2x = -10
Now subtract 18 to get -2x alone
18 + -2x = -10
-18 -18
Now it's:
-2x = -28
Now divide by -2 to get x alone
-2x = -28
/-2 /-2
And now it's:
X = 14
