− 3 ( x − 8 ) − 6 = 6 ( x + 5 )

Answer 1

Explanation:

x=4-/3

hope it helps.

Answer 2

`\sf \: x = ( -4 \: )/( \: 3 )`

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ -3(x - 8) - 6 = 6(x + 5)

Now the value of x will be,

→ -3(x - 8) - 6 = 6(x + 5)

→ -3x + 24 - 6 = 6x + 30

→ -3x + 18 = 6x + 30

→ -3x - 6x = 30 - 18

→ -9x = 12

→ x = 12/-9

→ [ x = -4/3 ]

Hence, value of x is -4/3.
