Question

3(x-1)-8=4(1+x)+5 solve for x

Answer 1

x = -20

Explanation:

Distribute

3x - 3 - 8 = 4 +4x + 5

Combine like terms

3x-4x = 4 + 5 + 8 + 3

-x = 20

x = -20

Answer 2

x = -20

Explanation:

3(x - 1) - 8 = 4(1 + x) + 5

3x - 3 - 8 = 4 + 4x + 5

3x - 11 = 4x + 9

3x = 4x + 20

-x = 20

x = -20

Best of Luck!
