Question

8x + 4 = 3 (2x – 5 ) + 7​

Answer 1

Answer:

8x + 4 = 3 (2x – 5 ) + 7

8x + 4 = 6x - 15 + 7

8x + 4 = 6x - 8

8x - 6x = - 8 - 4

2x = - 12

x = - 12/2

x = -6

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x will be -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to questions asked

We have to determine the value of the equation,

Given that,

$8x + 4 = 3 (2x- 5 ) + 7$

Distributing the terms, we get

=> $8x + 4 = 6x- 15 + 7$

Add the numbers, we get

=> $8x + 4 = 6x - 8$

Subtract both sides by 4,

=> $8x + 4-4 = 6x - 8-4$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $8x = 6x - 8-4$

Subtract the numbers,

=> $8x = 6x - 12$

Subtract 6x on both sides,

=> $8x-6x = 6x - 12-6x$

=> $2x = -12$

Divide both sides by 2,

=> $x = -6$

Hence, the required solution is -6.
