Question

Solve 5x+4=3(x-2)-8



​

Answer 1

Given:

The equation -

• 5x + 4 = 3(x - 2) - 8

What To Find:

We have to find -

• The value of x.

How To Find:

To find, we have to -

• First, simplify both sides of the equation.
• Next, take constants to one side.
• Then, take variables to another side.
• Then, solve both sides of the equation.
• Finally, find the value of x.

Solution:

5x + 4 = 3(x - 2) - 8

Solve the brackets in RHS,

⟹ 5x + 4 = 3x - 2 - 8

Subtract 8 from - 2 in RHS,

⟹ 5x + 4 = 3x - 10

Take 3x to LHS,

⟹ 5x + 4 - 3x = - 10

Rearrange the like terms in LHS,

⟹ 5x - 3x + 4 = - 10

Solve the like terms in LHS,

⟹ 2x + 4 = - 10

Take 4 to RHS,

⟹ 2x = - 10 - 4

Subtract 4 from - 10,

⟹ 2x = - 14

Take 2 to RHS,

⟹ x = - 14 ÷ 2

Divide - 14 by 2,

⟹ x = - 7

Final Answer:

∴ Thus, the value of x is - 7.
