Question

What is the answer of the problem;
3x-4+2(x-5)=9x+8-2x

Answer 1

The answer to the given problem
`3x-4+2(x-5)=9x+8-2x` is x=-11

Explanation:

Given problem is
`3x-4+2(x-5)=9x+8-2x`

To solve the equation:

`3x-4+2(x-5)=9x+8-2x`

`3x-4+2x-10=9x+8-2x` (multiplying the term with factor)

`5x-4-10=7x+8` (adding the like terms)

`5x-14=7x+8` (adding the like terms)

Now taking the terms to one side

`5x-14-7x-8=0`

`-2x-22=0` (adding the like terms)

`-2x=22`

`-x=(22)/(2)`

`-x=11`

x=-11

Therefore x=-11

The answer to the given problem
`3x-4+2(x-5)=9x+8-2x` is x=-11
