5+2x=3(2x-5)-8 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5+2*x = 3*(2*x-5)-8
Expand brackets in the right part
5+2*x = 3*2*x-3*5-8
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
5 + 2*x = -23 + 6*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 6 x - 28$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-4\right) x = -28$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -28 / (-4)
We get the answer: x = 7
