Question

8x-5=-3(3-2x)
Sole for x

Answer 1

Solve for x: 8x-5=-3(3-2x)

1. Carry out the indicated multiplication: 8x - 5 = - 9 + 6x
2. Combine like terms: 2x = -4
3. Solve this final equation for x: x = -2 (answer)

Answer 2

The first step would be to simplify both sides of the equal sign as much as possible.
8x - 5 = -3(3 - 2x)
8x - 5 = -9 - (-6x)
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x

Next, you would need to combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign to one on one side of the equal sign and one on the other.
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x
2x - 5 = -9
2x = -4

Now, all you have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 2.
2x = -4
x = -2

I hope this helps!
