Question

solve the following and verify.
5x+2-3(x+2)=-2(x+1)+5(x-2)​

Answer 1

ANSWER:

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

$5x + 2 - 3x - 6 = 2x + 2 + 5x - 10$

$5x - 3x + 2 - 6 = 2x + 5x + 2 - 10$

$2x - 4 = 7x - 8$

$2x - 7x = 4 - 8$

$- 5x = - 4$

$x = \frac{ - 4}{ - 5}$

$x = 0.8$

VERIFICATION:

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

$5(0.8) + 2 - 3( 0.8+ 2) = 2(0.8+ 1) + 5(0.8 - 2)$

$4 + 2 - 3(2.8) = 2(1.8) + 5( - 1.2)$

$6 - 8.4 = 3.6 - 6$

$- 2.4 = - 2.4$
