Answer:

The value of x is -3

Explanation:

We need to solve the given equation and find value of x

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

First solving the brackets

5x-20+3x-9x = 6-2x-5+8x

Now combining the like terms,

5x+3x-9x-20 = -2x+8x+6-5

8x-9x-20 = 6x +1

-x-20=6x+1

Now moving x terms on one side and constants on other

6x+x=-20-1

7x = -21

Dividing both sides by 7

7x/7 = -21/7

x = -3

So, the value of x is -3
