Answer:
x = -2
Explanation:
5x−3−7(x−2)=2(4x+3)−3(2x−4)+1
5x+−3+(−7)(x)+(−7)(−2)=(2)(4x)+(2)(3)+(−3)(2x)+(−3)(−4)+1(Distribute)
5x+−3+−7x+14=8x+6+−6x+12+1
(5x+−7x)+(−3+14)=(8x+−6x)+(6+12+1)(Combine Like Terms)
−2x+11=2x+19
−2x+11=2x+19
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.
−2x+11−2x=2x+19−2x
−4x+11=19
Step 3: Subtract 11 from both sides.
−4x+11−11=19−11
−4x=8
Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.
−4x /−4 = 8/ −4
x=−2
