Question

Solve the following equation.

3(5x+4)−20=13x−4

A. -2
B. 2
C. 8
D. 4

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Hi!

3(5x+4)−20=13x−4

15x+12-20=13x-4 Distribute the 3 to the 5x and 4

15x-8=13x-4

2x-8=-4 Subtract 13x from both sides

2x=4 Add 8 to both sides

x=2 Divide both sides by 2

So 2 is the answer :)
