Question

Simplify and solve the given linear equation = 5x‐ 2(2x‐7)=(3x‐2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

Solution:

5x-2(2x-7)=(3x-2)

5x-(4x-14)=3x-2

5x-4x+14=3x-2

x+14=3x-2

14+2=3x-x

16=2x

8=x

x=8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

given linear equation is that

$5x - 2(2x - 7) = (3x - 2)$

solution

simplify equation by solving brackets

$5x - 4x + 14 = (3x - 2)$

simplify

$5x - 4x + 14 - 3x = - 2$

solve like terms

$- 2x + 14 = - 2$

$- 2x + 14 + 2 = 0$

$- 2x = - 16$

simplify above equation we get value of variable x

hence

$x = \frac{16}{2} = 8$

value of variable x is 8.
