Question

2(x-3)+4(2x+1)=8-5(x-4)

Answer 1

2 (x - 3) + 4 (2x + 1) = 8 - 5 (x - 4)

2x + 2 . -3 + 4 (2x + 1) = 8 - 5 (x - 4)

2x - 6 + 4 (2x + 1) = 8 - 5 (x - 4)

2x - 6 + 4 (4 (2x) + 4 . 1) = 8 - 5 (x - 4)

2x - 6 + 4 (8x + 4 . 1) = 8 - 5 (x - 4)

2x - 6 + 4 (8x + 4) = 8 - 5 (x - 4)

10x - 6 + 4 = 8 - 5 (x - 4)

10x - 2 = 8 - 5 (x - 4)

10x - 2 = 8 + (-5x - 5 . -4)

10x - 2 = 8 + (-5x + 20)

10x - 2 = -5x + 28

10x - 2 + 5x = 28

15x - 2 = 28

15x = 28 + 2

15x = 30

x = 30/15

x = 2
