Which equation is equivalent to the given equation?
- 4(x – 5) + 8x = 9x – 3

Answer 1

B

-4x +20 +8x = 9x -3. That's equall to 4x+20=9x-3. subtract 9x both sides, -5x+20=-3. subtract 20 both sides, -5x=-23.

Answer 2

Hi!

-4(x - 5) + 8x = 9x - 3

-4x + 20 + 8x = 9x - 3

-4x + 8x - 9x = -3 - 20

-5x = -23

Answer: B
