Question

Please help me solve this equation. I need it to help me study for my test, tomorrow. 2x-5(x+4)=-2(x+3)

Answer 1

Answer: x= -14

Explanation:

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

2x-5x-20=-2x-6

-3x-20=-2x-6

-x-20=-6

-x= -6+20

-x= 14

X=14/-1

X=-14

To check substitute

2(-14)-5(-14+4)=-2(-14+3)

-28-5(-10)= -2(-11)

-28+50=22

22= 22
