Question

5(x-12) - (4x +11) = 8x - (9x_5)​

Answer 1

5(x-12) - (4x +11) = 8x - (9x-5)

5x-60-4x-11=8x-9x+5

x-71= -x +5

x+x=5+71

2x=76

x=38

Answer 2

To solve for x in the given equation, follow these steps:

1. Distribute the terms within the parentheses: 5(x - 12) = 5x - 60 -(4x + 11) = -4x - 11 8x - (9x - 5) = 8x - 9x + 5 = -x + 5

2. Substitute the distributed terms back into the equation: 5x - 60 - 4x - 11 = -x + 5

3. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation: x - 71 = -x + 5

4. Add x to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable terms on one side: x + x - 71 = 5 2x - 71 = 5

5. Add 71 to both sides of the equation: 2x = 76

6. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: x = 76 / 2 x = 38

So, the solution for the equation is x = 38.
