Question

What is 5(4x+3)=-37-6x

Answer 1

Answer: x= -2

Explanation:

Multiply parenthesis to get 20x+5= -37-6x

20x+6x= -37-15 (Collect like terms/calculate)

26x= -52 ( divide both sides by 26)

x= -2

Answer 2

Explanation:

5(4x+3)=-37-6x

20x + 15 = -37 - 6x

20x + 6x = -37 - 15

26x = -52

x = -52/26

x = -2
