Question

2(4x+5)=9(3x+2)? I need help

Answer 1

`x=-(8)/(19)`

Explanation:

2(4x + 5) = 9(3x + 2)

Solve for x

___________________

We have an alrebaric expressio and are asked to solve for x, which to do this, we need to isolate x.

2(4x + 5) = 9(3x + 2)

Distribute :

(2(4x) + 2(5)) = (9(3x) + 9(2))

8x + 10 = 27x + 18

Subtract 10 from both sides :

8x = 27x + 8

Subtract 27x from both sides :

-19x = 8

8 = -19x

Divide both sides by -19 :

`x=-(8)/(19)`
