Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

L.H.S=3(X+4) -2(X-2)

=3x+12-2x+4

=x+16

R.H.S=5(x+3)+3

=5x+15+3

=5x+ 18

Therefore,L.H.S is not equal to R.H.S

Answer 2

Answer:

⇢ x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

⇢ 3(x + 4) - 2(x - 2) = 5(x + 3) + 3

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

⇢ 3x + 12 + -2x + 4 = 5x + 15 + 3

⇢ (3x + -2x) + (12 + 4) = (5x) + (15 + 3)

⇢ x + 16 = 5x + 18

⇢ x + 16 - 5x = 5x + 18 - 5x

⇢ -4x+16=18

⇢ -4x + 16 - 16 = 18 - 16

⇢ -4x = 2

⇢ -4x/4 = 2/-4

⇢ x = -1/2

This is the required answer.
