Answer:

x=7/2

Explanation:

First, distribute the 9 on the left side

9(3-2x)=2(10-8x)

(9*3)+(9*-2x)= 2(10-8x)

27-18x= 2(10-8x)

Next, distribute the 2 on the right side

27-18x=(2*10)+(2*-8x)

27-18x=20-16x

Now, move all the numbers to one side of the equation, and the variables to the other.

27-18x=20-16x

Add 18x to both sides

27-18x+18x=20-16x+18x

27=20+2x

Subtract 20 from both sides

27-20=20-20+2x

7=2x

Now all the variables are on one side, and the numbers are on the other. x is still not by itself. It is being multiplied by 2. To undo this, divide both sides by 2

7/2=2x/2

7/2=x
