Question

Slove 4(5x-2)= 2(9x+3)

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

Firstly, use the distributive property to distribute the 4 and the 2 respectively.

`4(5x-2) = 2(9x+3)`

`20x-8=18x+6`

Then, isolate the variable. Start by subtracting 18x from both sides.

`2x - 8 = 6`

Add 8 to both sides.

`2x = 14`

Divide both sides by 2.

`x=7`

Answer 2

x=7

Explanation:

divide both sides by two. distribute on the left side. minus 9x on both sides. add 4 on both sides, and you get 7.
