Answer:
x = 2
Explanation:
5x - 2 ( 2x - 1 ) = 2 ( 3x - 4 )
First we need to distribute from the parenthesis.
5x -4x + 2 = 6x -8
Now look for any numeral that can be added or subtracted that is on the same side, here for example is 5x and -4x.
x + 2 = 6x - 8
Now find the side with the larger x value, and either add or subtract the lingering number on that side, ours here is 8.
x + 2 = 6x - 8
+8 +8
x + 10 = 6x
Near our last few stages subtract or add the smallest value x from the largest.
x + 10 = 6x
-x -x
10 = 5x
Finally, we divide each side by the number next to x.
10 = 5x
10/5 =2
5x/5 = x
To put our eqaution in correct form we write
x = 2
Hope this helps :)
