Question

6(3x + 2) – 5(6x – 1) = 2(x – 8) – 5(7x – 6) + 8x

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is -3/13

Step-by-step explanation:

18x-30x-2x+35x-8x=-16+30-12-5

13x=-3

x=-3/13

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6(3x+2)−5(6x−1)=2(x−8)−5(7x−6)+8x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6(3x+2)−5(6x−1)=2(x−8)−5(7x−6)+8x

(6)(3x)+(6)(2)+(−5)(6x)+(−5)(−1)=(2)(x)+(2)(−8)+(−5)(7x)+(−5)(−6)+8x(Distribute)

18x+12+−30x+5=2x+−16+−35x+30+8x

(18x+−30x)+(12+5)=(2x+−35x+8x)+(−16+30)(Combine Like Terms)

−12x+17=−25x+14

−12x+17=−25x+14

Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.

−12x+17+25x=−25x+14+25x

13x+17=14

Step 3: Subtract 17 from both sides.

13x+17−17=14−17

13x=−3

Step 4: Divide both sides by 13.

13x / 13  =  −3 /13

x= −3 /13

Answer:

x= −3 /13
