Question

solve 5(x-8) + 2= 3(x-1)​

Answer 1

Answer:

5(x-8) + 2= 3(x-1)

5x-40+2=3x-3

5x-3x=40-2-3

2x=40-5

2x=35

x=35/2

x=17.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$x = 17.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the above question, we will first solve the brackets and later solve it further.

$5(x - 8) + 2 = 3(x - 1) \\ \\ 5x - 40 + 2 = 3x - 3 \\ \\ 5x - 38 = 3x - 3 \\ \\ 2x = 35 \\ \\ x = \frac{35}{2} \\ \\ x = 17.5$
