Question

Solve for x.

212x−34(2x+5)=38






A. ​ x=−458 ​

B. x=−338

​ C. x=418 ​

D. ​ x=538

Answer 1

The Answer is: x = 1.444 with repeating 4.

Explanation:

212x - 34(2x + 5) = 38

212x - 68x - 170 = 38

212x - 68x = 38 + 170

144x = 208

x = 208/144 = 52/35 or 1.444

Proof:

212(1.444) - 34(2(1.444) + 5) = 38

306.128 - 34(7.888) = 38

306.128 - 268.192 = 37.936 or approximately 38

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
