Question

2(3x - 4) + 10 = 5(x + 4)


solving equations from book (geometry common core)​

Answer 1

x = 18

Explanation:

Given

2(3x - 4) + 10 = 5(x + 4) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

6x - 8 + 10 = 5x + 20, that is

6x + 2 = 5x + 20 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x + 2 = 20 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 18
