Question

3(x – 2) + 4x = 10(x + 1)

Answer 1

x=-16/3 (-5.33)

Explanation:

3(x-2)+4x=10(x+1)

3x-6+4x=10x+10

7x-6=10x+10

-6-10=10x-7x

-16=3x

x=-16/3

Answer 2

Answer:
`x=-(16)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given the equation
`3(x - 2) + 4x = 10(x+ 1)`, you need to solve for the variable "x":

Apply Distributive property:

`3x - 6 + 4x = 10x +10`

Add the like terms:

`7x - 6= 10x+10`

Subtract 10 to both sides of the equation:

`7x - 6-10= 10x +10-10\\\\7x-16=10x`

Subtract
`7x` from both sides:

`7x-16-7x=10x-7x\\\\-16=3x`

And finally divide both sides by 3:

`(-16)/(3)=(3x)/(3)\\\\x=-(16)/(3)`
