Question

Whats does x equal for 6(2x-5) = (x + 4)

Answer 1

Answer:34/11 or 3.09

Explanation:

`6(2x-5)=(x+4)`

MULTIPLY 2x-5 BY 6

`6(2x) - 6(5)= 12x-30\\12x-30=x+4`

COLLECT LIKE TERMS

`12x-x = 4+30`

`11x = 34\\`

DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 11

`(11x)/(11) =(34)/(11)`

THEREFORE x is

`x= 34/11\\ or \\ 3.09`
