Question

X:3(2x-5)-2(4x+1)=-5(x+3)-2.

Answer 1

x = 0

Explanation:

Equation given

3(2x-5)-2(4x+1) = -5(x+3) - 2

Expanding each term

3(2x) -3(5) -2(4x) -2(1) = -5(x+3) - 2

6x - 15 - 8x -2 = -5(x+3) - 2

-2x -17 = -5x -15 - 2

Combining like terms on the left and right side

-2x + 5x = 17 -15 - 2

3x = 17 - 17

x = 0/3

x = 0

So the solution to the given equation = 0
