Linear equations
2(5x + 3) = 6x -3
Apply the multiplicative law of distribution.
10x + 6 = 6x - 3
Rearrange the unknown terms on the left side of the equation.
10x - 6x = -3 - 6
Combine as terms
4x = -3 - 6
Calculate the sum or difference.
4x = -9
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable.
x = - 9/4
The answer is x = - 9/4. Because if we do the division, the result is not exact; means that the result is decimal.
