Question

What is the solution to the equation

Answer 1

x = -13

Explanation:

Distribute:

8 - 6x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x

Combine like terms:

4x - 7 = 20 - 5x

Isolate Variable

-x = 13

-1(-x) = -1(13)

x = -13

Answer 2

Answer:
`x=3`

Explanation:

You need to apply Distributive property on the left side of the equation:

`2(4-3x)+5(2x-3)=20-5x\\\\8-6x+10x-15=20-5x`

Now you must add the like terms on the left side of the equation:

`-7+4x=20-5x`

Add
`5x` to both sides:

`-7+4x+5x=20-5x+5x\\\\-7+9x=20`

Add 7 to boht sides of the equation:

`-7+9x+7=20+7\\\\9x=27`

And finally, divide both sides by 9:

`(9x)/(9)=(27)/(9)\\\\x=3`
