Question

Q.23) Solve the following and
check the solutions.What is
value of x. 5-3(5 x + 2) =4 (7-3
x)+1
x= 10
x= 12
x = -10
x = -12​

Answer 1

5 - 3(5x + 2) = 4(7 - 3x) + 1

5 - 15x - 6 = 28 - 12x + 1

-1 - 15x = 29 - 12x

-1 - 29 = -12x + 15x

-30 = 3x

$\frac{ - 30}{3} = x$

$- 10 = x$

So, option (c) is correct.
