Question

3(x-2)-2(x-3)=4(x-5)+5(x-8)

Answer 1

3(x-2)-2(x-3)=4(x-5)+5(x-8)

To do this problem, you have to dristibute everything:

3x-6-2x+6=4x-20+5x-40

Now combine like terms:

3x-2x+6-6=4x+5x-20-40
x=9x-60
x-9x=-60
-8x=-60
x=7.5

Hence the value of x is 7.5

Answer 2

3x - 6 - 2x +6= 4x-20 +5 - 40
3x-2x-4x-5x = +6-6 -20 - 40
-8x= -60
x= 15 /2
or
x= 7.5
