Question

Solve the equation. –(-x-5) + 5(x-9) = 2(x+8)-(2x+5)

Answer 1

Answer:

x=51/6

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5+5x-45=2x+16-2x-5

6x-40=11

6x=40+11

6x=51

x=51/6

Answer 2

Answer:

x= 51/6 or x = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-(-x-5) + 5(x-9) = 2(x+8)-(2x+5)

=> x+5 + 5x -45 = 2x + 16 -2x -5

=> 6x - 40 = 11

=> 6x = 51

=> x= 51/6 OR x = 8.5
