Question

Solve for x. 2-1/2x−3/4(2x 5)=3/8 ​ x=−4-5/8x=−4-5/8 ​ x=−3-3/8x=−3-3/8 ​ x=4-1/8x=4-1/8 ​ ​ x=5-3/8x=5-3/8 ​

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

−5(x+3)+8x = 3 Distribute.

(−5)(x)+(−5)(3)+8x =3 Simplify.

−5x−15+8x =3 Commute.

-5x+8x−15 =3 Combine like terms.

3x−15 =3 Add 15 to each side.

3x =18 Add 15 to each side.

3x/3 =18/3 Divide each side by 3.

x =6 Simplify.
