Question

Solve the linear equation

8x+32=
`(1)/(5)`(25x−15)−4x

x =

Answer 1

`8x + 32 = (1)/(5)(25x - 15) - 4x`

`12x + 32 = (1)/(5)(25x - 15)`

`5(12x + 32) = 5 * (1)/(5)(25x - 15)`

`60x + 160 = 25x - 15`

`35x = -175`

`x = -5`

Answer 2

Answer: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 32 =
`(1)/(5)`(25x - 15) - 4x

8x + 32 = 5x - 3 - 4x distributed
`(1)/(5)` to 25x - 15

8x + 32 = x - 3 added like terms 5x and -4x

7x + 32 = -3 subtracted x from both sides

7x = -35 subtracted 32 from both sides

x = -5 divided both sides by 7
