Question

What is the solution to the equation 2(4-3x)+5(2x-3)=20-5x

Answer 1

2(4 - 3x) + 5(2x - 3) = 20 - 5x

First, simplify each side of the equation. Distribute:

8 - 6x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x

Combine like terms:

4x - 7 = 20 - 5x

You can now add 5x to each side:

9x - 7 = 20

Add 7 to each side:

9x = 27

Finally, divide each side by 9 to solve for x:

x = 3

Answer 2

x=3 is the correct answer
