Question

Can anyone solve this? My teacher needs something about distribution or something -4(x-2)=5(3x-8)

Answer 1

Answer:

-4(x-2)=5(3x-8)

-4x+8=15x-40

8+40=15x+4x

48=19x

x=48/19

or

x=2.53 approx...

Answer 2

Answer:

48/19

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(x-2) = 5(3x-8)

-4x + 8 = 15x - 40

-4x - 15x = -40-8

-19x = -48

x = -48/-19

x = 48/19

hope this helps you
