Question

Solve the equation for x

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

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

5x - 15 + 2x = 4x + 12

7x - 4x = 12 + 15

3x = 27

x = 9

Answer 2

`5\left(x-3\right)+2x=4\left(x+3\right)`

`5\left(x-3\right)+2x`

`=5x-15+2x`

`5x-15+2x`

`5x+2x-15=7x-15`

`4\left(x+3\right)=4x+12`

`7x-15=4x+12`

`7x-15+15=4x+12+15`

`7x=4x+27`

`7x-4x=4x+27-4x`

`3x=27`

`(3x)/(3)=(27)/(3)`

`x=9`
