Answer 1

x = -19/3

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 5(2x + 7) = 4x - 3

Now the value of x will be,

→ 5(2x + 7) = 4x - 3

→ 10x + 35 = 4x - 3

→ 10x - 4x = -3 - 35

→ 6x = -38

→ x = -38/6

→ [ x = -19/3 ]

Hence, value of x is -19/3.

Answer 2

`5(2x+7)=4x-3`

Distribute numbers outside of parentheses:

`(5)(2x)+(5)(7)=4x-3`

`10x+35=4x-3`

Subtract 4x from both sides:

`10x+35-4x=4x-3-4x`

`6x+35=-3`

Subtract 35 from both sides:

`6x+35-35=-3-35`

`6x=-38`

Divide both sides by 6:

`(6x)/(6) =(-38)/(6)`

`\boxed{x = -(19)/(3) }\texttt{ or }\boxed{x =-6.33}`
