Question

simplify 3(x-3)=5(2x+1)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 3(x - 3) = 5(2x + 1)

Multiplying the each term inside the bracket with the number outside the bracket.

On further solving, we get

→ 3(x) - 3(3) = 5(2x) + 5(1)

→ 3x - 9 = 10x + 5

Transposing the terms and writing common terms together.

→ 3x - 10x = 5 + 9

→ - 7x = 14

Shifting the minus (-) sign.

→ 7x = - 14

→ x = - 14/7

→ x = - 2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

=3x - 9 = 10x + 5

= -9-5 = 10x -3x

=-14 = 7x

=x = -14/7= -2
