Question

18 4(×+1) -8(5-×) =3​

Answer 1

Answer:

The problem you face here is due to the way the equation is displayed, we have

18/3(5−4+1)18/3(5−4+1)

which usually means

183⋅(5−4+1)=12.183⋅(5−4+1)=12.

The expression you evaluate is

183⋅(5−4+1)183⋅(5−4+1)

would be written as

18/(3(5−4+1))=3.18/(3(5−4+1))=3.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

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

(4x+4)-(40-8x)=3

4x+4-40+8x=3

12x-36=3

12x=3+36

12x=39

x=13/4
