Question

I need a little help with this 32(x−2)−5=19

Answer 1

x =11/4

Explanation:

32(x−2)−5=19

Add 5 to each side

32(x−2)−5+4=19+5

32 (x-2) = 24

Distribute

32x -64 = 24

Add 64 to each side

32x-64+64 = 24+64

32x = 88

Divide by 32

32x/32 = 88/32

x = 88/32

Divide top and bottom by 8

x =11/4
