Question

2(х + 4) - 5 = 3х + 3
What’s the answer

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=0`

Simplify both sides of the equation

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

`(2x)+(8+-5)=3x+3`(Combine Like Terms)

`2x+3=3x+3`

Subtract 3x from both sides

`2x+3-3x=3x+3-3x\\-x+3=3`

Subtract 3 from both sides

`-x+3-3=3-3\\-x=0`

Divide both sides by -1

`-x/1=0/-1\\x=0`

Answer 2

x = 0

Explanation:

Hello!

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

Distribute the 2

2x + 8 - 5 = 3x + 3

Combine like terms

2x + 3 = 3x + 3

Subtract both sides by 2x

3 = x + 3

Subtract both sides by 3

0 = x

The answer is x = 0

Hope this helps!
