Question

What is the value of ?
4(5x-2)=2(9x+3)

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

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

The value of x can be obtained as follow:

Clear the bracket

20x - 8 = 18x + 6

Collect like terms

20x - 18x = 6 + 8

2x = 14

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 2

x = 14/2

x = 7

Therefore, the value of x is 7

Answer 2

Explanation:

`4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3) \\ 20x - 8 = 18x + 6 \\ 20x - 18x = 8 + 6 \\ 2x = 14 \\ (2x)/(2) = (14)/(2) \\ x = 7`
