Question

Solve the equation.

5x + 6 = 2(2x – 3)

what dose x =

Answer 1

5x + 6 = 2(2x-3)

5x + 6 = 4x -5

x + 6 = -5

......x = -11......

Answer 2

x=−12

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x+6=2(2x−3)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+6=2(2x−3)

5x+6=(2)(2x)+(2)(−3)(Distribute)

5x+6=4x+−6

5x+6=4x−6

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

5x+6−4x=4x−6−4x

x+6=−6

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

x+6−6=−6−6
