Answer the following algebraic equation:

3x-5+9(72/8)+4=2(4x-6)

Point Value- 20 points

Answer 1

X=18.4

Explanation:

3x-5+9(72/8)+4=2(4x-6)

3x-5+9(9)+4=2(4x-6)

3x-5+81+4=8x-12

3x-5+85=8x-12

3x+80=8x-12

3x-8x=-12-80

-5x=-92

x=-92/-5

x=18.4

Checking our work:

3(18.4)-5+9(72/8)+4=2(4(18.4)-6)

55.2-5+9(9)+4=2(73.6-6)

55.2-5+81+4=2(67.6)

50.2+85=135.2

135.2=135.2
