Question

Which equation is equivalent to

4(2 - 5x) = 6 - 3(1 – 3 x) ?
(A) 8x = 5
(B) 8x=17
(C) 29x = 5
(D) 29x =1

Answer 1

c is the correct answer

29x=5

Answer 2

answer:

C) 29x=5

reason:

first, distribute the parentheses
this will make your equation 8-20x=6-3+9x
simplify to get 8-20x=3+9x
add 20x to both sides to get 8=3+29x
subtract 3 from both sides to get 5=29x
