Question

What is the solution to
2+3(x+1)=5(x-3)-4

Answer 1

2+3(x+1)=5(x-3)-4

2+3x+3 = 5x-15-4

3x+5 = 5x-19

3x-5x=-19-5

-2x=-24

x=24/2 =12

solution to

2+3(x+1)=5(x-3)-4 : x=12

Answer 2

x = 12

Explanation:

2+3x+3 = 5x - 15 - 4

5 + 3x = 5x - 19

3x - 5x = -19-5

-2x = -24

-2/-2 x = -24/-2

x = 12
