Question

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS EXERCISE: 3(x6) + 8 = 5(x-5)-1

Answer 1

Explanation:

3(x6) + 8 = 5(x-5) - 1

we move all the terms to the left:

3(x6) + 8 -(5(x-5) -1 ) = 0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables:

3x^6 - ( 5 ( X-5) - 1) + 8 = 0

We calculate terms in parentheses: - ( 5 ( x-5) - 1 ) , so :

5(x-5)-1

we multiply:

5x - 25 -1

we add all the numbers together, and all the variables:

5x - 26

back to the equation:

- ( 5 x - 26)

Answer 2

X= -1. That’s the answer for this
