Question

Solve the equation. -3(x-4)+15=3x-14+2x

Answer 1

when you solve this equation you will get. x=41/8

Answer 2

-3(x - 4) + 15 = 3x - 14 + 2x

Multiply the -3 into (x - 4)

-3x + 12 + 15 = 3x - 14 + 2x

Combine like terms

-3x + 27 = 5x - 14

Add 3x on both sides

-3x + 27 + 3x = 5x - 14 + 3x

27 = 8x - 14

Add 14 on both sides

27 + 14 = 8x - 14 + 14

41 = 8x

Divide 8 on both sides

`x = (41)/(8)`
