a) -21/7
b) -21/17
c) 17/21
d) 21/17​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(4x + 3) = 3(x - 2) \\ 20x + 15 = 3x - 6 \\ 20x - 3x = - 6 - 15 \\ 17x = - 21 \\ x = \frac{ - 21}{17}$

I hope it helps you❤

Answer 2

Answer:

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

5×4x +5×3 = 3 × x - 3 ×2

20x + 15 = 3x - 6

20x - 3x = -6 -15

17 x = -21

x = -21/ 17

Hence the answer will be b. -21/17...
