3×(x+5)=5×(12-x)-5 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*(x+5) = 5*(12-x)-5
Expand brackets in the left part
3*x+3*5 = 5*(12-x)-5
Expand brackets in the right part
3*x+3*5 = 5*12-5*x-5
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
15 + 3*x = 55 - 5*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$3 x = 40 - 5 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$8 x = 40$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = 40 / (8)
We get the answer: x = 5
