Question

Solve the equation. 2(4 - 2x) - 3 = 5(2x + 3)

A. 3/5
B. 2/3
C. 3/2
D. 7/2

Answer 1

x= -5/7

Explanation:

The equation involves only one variable x.

so, we have to isolate the variable to get the solution of the equation

Given

`2(4 - 2x) - 3 = 5(2x + 3)\\8-4x -3 = 10x+15\\5-4x = 10x+15\\-4x = 10x +15 -5\\-4x-10x=10\\-14x = 10\\x = (10)/(-14)\\ x = -(x=5)/(7)`

Hence the value of x or solution is

x= -5/7
