Answer:
x = 19/2 or 9.5
Explanation:
Hello!
We can distribute the parenthesis and solve.
Solve
- 2(4x - 3) = 5(2x - 5)
- 2(4x) - 2(3) = 5(2x) - 5(5)
- 8x - 6 = 10x - 25
Move all x terms to one side and integer terms to the other
- 8x - 6 = 10x - 25
- -6 + 25 = 10x - 8x
- 19 = 2x
- x = 19/2
- x = 9.5
