Question

Solve the following equation and check your answer. 5(2 – 3x) – 17(2x - 5) = 16​

Answer 1

Answer:

5(2-3x)-17(2x-5)=16

10-15x-34x+85=16

95-49x=16

49x=79

x=79/49

x=1.61

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate here is ur answer..!!

We have ..,

5(2 - 3x) - 17(2x - 5) = 16

↪. 10 - 15x - 34x + 85 = 16

↪. -49x + 95 = 16

↪. -49x = 16 - 95

↪. -49x = - 79

↪. x = -79/ -49

↪. x = 79 / 49

Now..,

➡ 5(2 - 3 * 79/49) - 17( 2* 79/49 - 5)

➡ 10 - 15 × 79/49 ) - (34× 79/49 - 85)

➡ (490 - 1180)/49 - (2686 - 4165)/49

➡ -690/49 + 1478/49

➡ (-690 + 1478)/ 49

➡ 789/ 49

➡ 16.10

Hope this helps u...!!
