Question

Chelsea shows her work in finding the solution to 4x−5=2+3(x−3) 4 x 5 2 3 ( x 3 ) . After checking her answer in the original equation, she found that it did not work. Where did she make a mistake?

Answer 1

you want to combine you like term so it will be 4x-5=532
then you want to subtract 5 from both side and you will get 4x=527
then you will want to divide 527 by 4
and get 131.75
so x=131.75
