Question

Simplify the given equation.

5x+2(x - 3) = -2(x - 1)

O 7x-3= -2x - 1
O 7x-6= -2x + 2
O 7x-6= -2x - 2

Answer 1

The answer is B

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 8/9

Explanation:

open brackets

5x + 2x -6=-2x +2

collect like terms

5x + 2x + 2x = 2 + 6

9x = 8

divide both sides by the coefficient of x (8)

x = 8/9
