Question

if 8(2x-5)-6(3x-7)=1, then x=

Answer 1

Answer: The value of x is 1/2.

Explanation:

Given: The term 8(2x-5)-6(3x-7)=1

To find: The value of x?

Solution:  Now the term given is:

                 8(2x-5) - 6(3x-7) = 1

Expanding it, we get:

                 16x - 40 - 18x + 42 = 1

                 -2x + 2 = 1

Taking like terms together, we get:

                 -2x = 1 - 2

Now solving further, we get:

                 -2x = -1

Canceling the negative sign, we get:

                 x = 1/2

So the value of x is 1/2.
