Answer:
x= −7/5
Explanation:
Step 1: Distribute and combine like terms
3(x−6)−8x=−2+5(2x+1)
(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+−8x=−2+(5)(2x)+(5)(1)(Distribute)
3x+−18+−8x=−2+10x+5
(3x+−8x)+(−18)=(10x)+(−2+5)(Combine Like Terms)
−5x+−18=10x+3
−5x−18=10x+3
Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.
−5x−18−10x=10x+3−10x
−15x−18=3
Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.
−15x−18+18=3+18
−15x=21
Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.
Hope this helps! :)
