Question

I want the answer for this equation 6(3x + 2) – 5(6x – 1) = 3(x – 8) – 5(7x – 6) + 9x

Answer 1

6(3x + 2) – 5(6x – 1) = 3(x – 8) – 5(7x – 6) + 9x

18x + 12 - 30x + 5 = 3x - 24 - 35x + 30 + 9x

- 12x + 17 = - 23x + 6

- 12x + 23x = 6 - 17

11x = - 11

x = -11/11

x = -1

Answer 2

     6(3x+2)-5(6x-1)=3(x-8)-5(7x-6)+9x
⇒  18x+12-30x+5=3x-24-35x + 30+9x
⇒  17-12x= 6-23x
⇒   23x-12x= 6-17
⇒   11x= -11
         x= -1
