Question

Which of the following is the solution set of the given equation? (x - 3) - 2(x + 6) = -5

Answer 1

Answer

opening the braket of the given eqn.

x-3-2x-12= -5

-x-15= -5

-x= -5+15

-x=10

x=-10

Now putting the value of X in the question and checking the answer

(-10-3)-2(-10+6)= -5

-13+20-12= -5

-13+8= -5

-5= -5

So the ans is x= -10
