Answer: Number one is 4, number 2 is no solution
Explanation:
1.
First you have to simplify both sides of the equation.
5x−(x+3) = 1/3 (9x+18)−5
5x+−1(x+3)=1/3 (9x+18)−5 (Distribute the Negative Sign)
5x+−1x+(−1)(3)= 1/3 (9x+18)−5
5x+−x+−3= 1/3 (9x+18)−5
5x+−x+−3=(1/3)(9x)+(1/3)(18)+−5(Distribute)
5x+−x+−3=3x+6+−5
(5x+−x)+(−3)=(3x)+(6+−5)(Combine Like Terms)
4x+−3=3x+1
4x−3=3x+1
Then you have to subtract 3x from both sides.
4x−3−3x=3x+1−3x
x−3=1
Add 3 to both sides.
x=4
2. There is no solution
