Question

6(3x + 2) - 5(6x - 1) = 6(x - 3) - 5 (7x-6) + 12x
19​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

6(3x + 2) - 5(6x - 1) = 6(x - 3) - 5(7x - 6) + 12x

open up the  brackets

18x + 12 -30x + 5 = 6x - 18 - 35x + 30 + 12x

collect like terms

18x - 30x -6x  + 35x - 12x = 30 - 18 - 12 - 5

evaluate both sides

5x = - 5

divde both sides by 5

5x/5 = -5/5

∴x = -1
