Question

Solve for X. Show your work


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

Answer 1

`x = (15)/(2)`

Explanation:

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

`6x - 10 = 4x + 5`

`6x - 10 - 4x = 5`

`6x - 4x = 5 + 10`

`2x = 5 + 10`

`2x = 15`

`x = (15)/(2)`

Answer 2

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

6x - 10 = 4x + 5

6x - 4x = 5 + 10

2x = 15 / : 2

x = 7,5 ← the end
