Question

Complete the steps to solve this linear equation: 2x + 9(x – 1) = 8(2x + 2) – 5 1.Apply the distributive property:                 2x + 9x– 9 = 16x + 16 – 5 2.Combine like terms on each side:                11x – 9 = 16x + 11 3.Use the subtraction property of equality to isolate the variable term: –9 = 5x + 11  Use the subtraction property of equality to isolate the constant:   –20 = 5x 4. Use the division property of equality to solve: = x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+9(x-1)=8(2x+2)

2x+9x-9=16x+16

11x-9=16x+16

16x-11x=-9-16

5x=-7x

x=-5/7
