Question

Solve 5 (2x + 1 ) + 4 = 6 ( 3x + 2) - 7

Answer 1

5(2x+1)+4=6(3x+2)-7

10x+5+4=18x+12-7

10x-18x=12-7-5-4

-8x=-4 (-1)

8x=4

x=4/8 (/4)

x=1/2

Answer 2

x = 1/2

Explanation:

5(2x + 1) + 4 = 6 (3x + 2) - 7

~Simplify both sides

10x + 9 = 18x + 5

~Subtract 9 from both sides

10x = 18x - 4

~Subtract 18x to both sides

-8x = -4

~Divide -8 to both sides

x = 1/2

Best of Luck!
