Question

solve 5(x-4)+16(x-1)=9(x-1)+2​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{29}{12}$ = 2.416

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-4 ) + 16(x-1) =9(x-1) + 2​

5x - 20 + 16x - 16 = 9x - 9 + 2

5x + 16x - 20 - 16 = 9x - 9 + 2 (rearranging)

21x - 36 = 9x - 7

21x - 9x = -7 + 36

12x = 29

x = $\frac{29}{12}$ = 2.416

Answer 2

Given: $5(x-4)+16(x-1)=9(x-1)+2$

We have to solve the above equation.

For this, we will multiply the constant with the variables, and then we will simplify the equation.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

$5(x-4)+16(x-1)=9(x-1)+2$

Solving the above equation:

$=>5x-20+16x-16=9x-9+2\\=>21x-36=9x-7$

Solving like terns:

$=>21x-9x=-7+36\\=>12x=29\\\\=>x=\frac{29}{12}$

Hence, the solution of the above equation is$\frac{29}{12}$.
