Question

3(x-6)-8x=-2+5(2x+1)

what vaule of x makes the equation true?

Answer 1

The value of x is -7/5

Explanation:

3(x - 6) - 8x = -2 + 5(2x + 1)

3x - 18 - 8x = -2 + 10x + 5

-18 - 5x = 10x + 3

-18 + 18 - 5x - 10x = 10x - 10x + 3 + 18

-15x = 21

15x = -21

15x/15 = -21/15

x = -7/5 = -1 ⅖

Thus, The value of x is -7/5
