Answer: The value of x after simplifying the algebraic expression is 21/6
Explanation of the answer above :
Firstly start by multiplying 1/5 on the left and -1/3 on the right. In simpler words, open the brackets.
10x/5 - 40/5 -6 = -12x/3 +21/3
Secondly, start solving the equation which will be as follows
2x-8-6 = -4x+7
Thirdly, add -8 and -6. The answer after this will be as the following.
2x -14 = -4x +7
Lastly, bring all the variables to one side
2x+ 4x = 14+ 7
6x =21
x = 21/6.
Hence the value of x is 21/6
