Question

-2 (5x-4)= 8-3x solve for x

Answer 1

x = 0

Explanation:

First, distribute

- 2 (5x - 4) = 8 - 3x

-10x + 8 = 8 - 3x

Next, rearrange the terms

-10x + 8 = 8 - 3x

-10x + 8 = -3x + 8

Then, Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation

-10x + 8 = -3x + 8

-10x + 8 - 8 = -3x + 8 -8

Then, simplify (I'm not gonna show how but if you want me to just let me know)

-10x = -3x

Then, add 3x to both sides of the equation

-10x = -3x

-10x + -3x = -3x + 3x

Then, simplify

-7x = 0

Then, divide both sides of the equation by the same term

-7x = 0

-7x/-7 = 0/-7

Finally, simplify

x = 0/-7

and you'll get

x = 0

Answer 2

x=0

Explanation:

-2*(5x-4)=8-3x

-2x * 5x -2 * -4= 8 -3x

-10x+8=8-3x

-10x+3x+8=8-3x+3x

-10x+3x+8=8-3x+3x

-7x+8=8-3x+3x+8

-7x+8=8

-7x=8-8

-7x=0

x=0
