Question

5(4x+3)=3(x-2).what is the answer or value
​

Answer 1

Answer:

20x + 15 = 3x - 6

20x -3x = -6-15

17x = - 21

X = -21/17

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Rightarrow \Huge\boxed{\mathsf{X=-\frac{21}{17}=-1.23 }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate x on one side of the equation.

DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

A(B+C)=AB+AC

5(4x+3)

5*4x=20x

5*3=15

20x+15

3(x-2)

3*x=3x

3*2=6

3x-6

Rewrite the problem down.

20x+15=3x-6

20x+15-15=3x-6-15 (Subtract by 15 from both sides.)

6-15 (Solve.)

6+15=21

20x=3x-21

20x-3x=3x-21-3x (Next, subtract by 3x from both sides.)

20-3x=17x

17x=-21

17x/17=-21/17 (Then, divide by 17 from both sides.)

-21/17 (Solve.)

-21/17=-1.23

x=-21/17=-1.23

$\bigstar \Rightarrow\Large\boxed{\mathsf{X=-\frac{21}{17}=-1.23 }}}\bigstar$

The correct answer is x=-21/17=-1.23.
