Question

3*(4-2x)=5x-2*(2+5x)

Answer 1

$3(4 - 2x) = 5x - (2 + 5x) )))))))))))) 12 - 6x = - 2)))))))))))))))))))))))))) - 6x = - 14)))))))x = 2 \frac{1}{3}$

Answer 2

Let's solve the equation step by step:

3*(4 - 2x) = 5x - 2*(2 + 5x)

First, let's simplify the equation by applying the distributive property:

12 - 6x = 5x - 4 - 10x

Next, let's collect like terms by combining the x terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side:

-6x - 5x + 10x = -4 - 12

Simplifying further:

• x = -16

Finally, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to isolate x:

x = 16

So the solution to the equation 3*(4 - 2x) = 5x - 2*(2 + 5x) is x = 16.
