Answer:
Explanation:
3x+8=5x−4(6x−10)
Use the distributive property to multiply −4 by 6x−10.
3x+8=5x−24x+40
Combine 5x and −24x to get −19x.
3x+8=−19x+40
Add 19x to both sides.
3x+8+19x=40
Combine 3x and 19x to get 22x.
22x+8=40
Subtract 8 from both sides.
22x=40−8
Subtract 8 from 40 to get 32.
22x=32
Divide both sides by 22.
