Question

Which equation is equivalent to the following 4(2x+1)-3(x-2)=20

Answer 1

The equivalent equation to 4(2x+1)-3(x-2)=20 is 5x+11=20

Explanation:

Answer 2

An equivalent equation would be 2x = 4.

Explanation:

Expanding the brackets and simplifying, we get:

8x + 4 - 3x + 6 = 20

Combining like terms, we get:

5x + 10 = 20

Subtracting 10 from both sides, we get:

5x = 10

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = 2

So an equivalent equation would be 2x = 4.
