Question

-8-2(6-5x) = 5(2x+3) what is the solution

Answer 1

`{ \blue{ \sf{x = - 15}}}`

Explanation:

`{ \red{ \sf{ - 8 - 2(6 - 5x) = 5(2x + 3)}}}`

`{ \red{ \sf{ - 10(6 - 5x) = 5(2x + 3)}}}`

`{ \red{ \sf{ - 60 + 5x = 10x + 15}}}`

`{ \red{ \sf{5x = 10x + 15 + 60}}}`

`{ \red{ \sf{5x = 10x + 75}}}`

`{ \red{ \sf{5x - 10x = 75}}}`

`{ \red{ \sf{ - 5x = 75}}}`

`{ \red{ \sf{x = - (75)/(5)}}}`

`{ \blue{ \boxed{ \sf{x = - 15}}}}`
