Answer:
x = -1
Explanation:
5(2x – 3) = -4(x + 4) – 13
Use distributive property,
5*2x - 5*3 = -4*x +(-4)*4 -13
10x - 15 = -4x - 16 - 13
10x - 15 = -4x - 29
Add 15 to both sides
10x = -4x -29 + 15
10x = -4x - 14
Add 4x to both sides
10x + 4x = -14
14x = -14
Divide both sides by 14
x = -14/14
x = -1
