Question

7. 5(3 – x) + 1 = 3(x + 4)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(3−x)+1=3(x+4)

(5)(3)+(5)(−x)+1=(3)(x)+(3)(4)(Distribute)

15+−5x+1=3x+12

(−5x)+(15+1)=3x+12(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+16=3x+12

−5x+16=3x+12

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−5x+16−3x=3x+12−3x

−8x+16=12

Step 3: Subtract 16 from both sides.

−8x+16−16=12−16

−8x=−4

Step 4: Divide both sides by -8.

-8x/8 = -4/-8

= x = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

We will get the value of x$= 0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

In accordance with the information provided in the question,

We have find the value of the supplied expression in the above question.

Given the data in question 5(3 – x) + 1 = 3(x + 4)​

Arrange the equation multiply 5 into (3-x)+1 and multiply 3 into(x+4)

and get balance equation

$15-5x+1=3x+12$

Simplifying further we get,

$16-5x=3x+12$

Here we will use the transposition method.

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side to another side,

So, we will shift 16 from LHS to RHS the sign will change from positive to negative,

So, we will shift 3x from RHS to LHS the sign will change from positive to negative,

As we get,

$16-5x=3x+12\\-x-3x=12-16\\-8x=-4$

Dividing both side by -8 we get

,$\frac{-8x}{-8} =\frac{-4}{-8} \\x=\frac{4}{8} \\x=\frac{1}{2}$

$x=0.5$

Hence we get the value of x$=0.5$
