Answer:
(1) 1 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
8(2x+1) – 3 (3x+2)=2(x+5)
first do distributive property:
8(2x+1) – 3 (3x+2)=2(x+5)
16x+8-9x-6=2x+10.
next combine like terms.
16x+8-9x-6=2x+10
7x+8-6=2x+10,
7x+2=2x+10.
Now subtract 2x from both sides.
7x+2-2=2x+10-2
5x+2=10
now subtract 2 from both sides.
5x+2-2=10-2
5x=8
Now you can divide by the coefficient which is 5.
and your answer will be:
[tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] or [tex]1\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
