Question

Solve it

`\sf \: 5(x - 9) + 3(x + 4) = 2(x - 6)`
​

Answer 1

x=3.5

Explanation:

5(x-9)+3(x+4)=2(x-6)

5x-45+3x+12=2x-12

8x-33=2x-12

8x-2x=-12+33

6x=21

x=21÷6

=3.5

Hope it helps!!!

Answer 2

`\huge{x = (7)/(2) }`

Explanation:

5(x - 9) + 3(x + 4) = 2(x - 6)

First expand the terms in the bracket

That's

5x - 45 + 3x + 12 = 2x - 12

Simplify

8x - 33 = 2x - 12

8x - 2x = 33 - 12

6x = 21

Divide both sides by 6

`(6x)/(6) = (21)/(6) \\ x = (21)/(6)`

Simplify

We have the final answer as

`x = (7)/(2) \\`

Hope this helps you
