PLease solve the following problem if you have time. (solve for x)
4(-x - 3) = 3x + 5(x - 2)
I am unsure of my answer. Let me know what you get, but I got the following:
1 and 5/6 = x
\(4(-x-3)=3x+5(x-2)\)
\(-4x-12=3x+5x-10\)
With sign change to the right side
\(-4x-3x-5x=-10+12\) Calculation
\(-12x=2\) Calculation
\(x=-\frac{1}{6}\)
!
I get x = - 1/6
Huh. That's not at all what I got. If I have time, I'll do the problem again, otherwise I'll just ask my teacher tomorrow, I guess.
my answer is x = -1/6
!
