Question

What is the solution to the equation 2 (4 minus 3 x) + 5 (2 x minus 3) = 20 minus 5 x?

Answer 1

Answer:

2(4-3x)+5(2x-3)=20-5x

8-6x+10x-15=20-5x

9x=27

X=3

Answer 2

Answer :

• Let us solve the given equation -

$\implies \small \sf 2(4\:-\:3x)\:+\:5(2x\:-\:3)\:=\: 20\:-\:5x$

$\implies \small \sf 8\:-\:6x\:+\:10x\:-\:15\:=\: 20\:-\:5x$

$\implies \small \sf 4x\:+\:5x\:=\: 20\:+\:15\:-\:8$

$\implies \small \sf 9x\:=\: 27$

$\implies \small \sf x\:=\: \dfrac{27}{9}$

$\implies \small {\red {\sf {x\:=\: 3}}}$

• Value of x turns to be 3
