Question

4(5x – 2) = 2(9x + 3)

Answer 1

x=7

Explanation:

First you distribute the numbers outside the parenthesis and then you get 20x - 8 = 18x + 6 and then subtract the lowest value of x to both sides to get 2x - 8 = 6 and then add 8 to both sides to get 14 and then divide 2x to that and that gives you 7.

Answer 2

4(5x – 2) = 2(9x + 3)

20x-8=18x+6

20x-18x=6+8

2x=14 //:2

x=7
