Problem
5(3x – 4) = 2(3x + 1)
Solution
If we distribute the terms in the equation we got:
15x - 20= 6x +2
We can subtract 6x in both sides of the equation and we got:
9x -20=2
Now we can add 20 in both sides and we got:
9x=22
Finally we can divide both sides of the equation by 9 and we got;
x= 22/9
