Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
20x - 8 = 18x + 6 ( subtract 18x from both sides )
2x - 8 = 6 ( add 8 to both sides )
2x = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 7
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
60 divided by 10
I'm assuming your teacher wants you to distribute. If so, then you multiply the outer term 8 by each term inside (3a and 5). After that you add.
8 times 3a = 24a
8 times 5 = 40
So 8(3a+5) becomes 24a+40
We do not combine 24a and 40 as they are not like terms. So we leave 24a+40 as it is.
