Question

How do you solve -2(x-3)4x=8x+20. Also show the steps plz.

Answer 1

-2x(6)4x=8x+20
-2x(4x)-8x=20-6
-10x(4x)=14
-40xsquare=14
xsquare=14+40
xsquare=54
x=54÷2
x=27

Answer 2

$- 2(x - 3) = 8x + 20 \\ - 8x(x - 3) = 4(2x + 5) \\ - x( x - 3) = 2x + 5 \\ - x {}^{2} + 3x = 2x + 5 \\ - {x}^{2} + x - 5 = 0 \\ by \: using \: shridrnachyra \: formula \: we \: get \\ x = ( - 1 + - \ \sqrt{19i} ) \div (- 2)$
