Question

3(6x)-8x = -2+5 (2x+1)

Answer 1

this question is wrong i think

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

So you will distribute the number beside the ( )

so the equation be looking like :

18x - 8x = 10x + 5 - 2

now combine like terms

18x - 8x = 10x

5 - 2 = 3

10x = 10x +3

now subtract 10x to the other side they cross off

leaving x = 3

and so that's your answer

hope this helps
