Question

12/7(x-5)=23-8x solve and verify

Answer 1

Answer:

12 7(X-5) = 23 - 8x : X = 441 - √11473 112 441+√1 112

Steps

12 7(x- <-5) = 23 - 8x

Multiply both sides by 7(x - 5)

12 7(x-5) 7(x-5)=23 7(x-5)-8x 7(x-5)

Simplify

12 = 161 (x-5) - 56x(x - 5)

Solve 12 = 161(x - 5) - 56x(x-5): X=

X = 441 11473 112 X = 441 + √11473 112
