Solve for x: 3/5(x+2)=x-4
Solve for x: (3 (x+2))/5 = x-4 Multiply both sides by 5: (5×3 (x+2))/5 = 5 (x-4) (5×3 (x+2))/5 = 5/5×3 (x+2) = 3 (x+2): Answer: | 3 (x+2) = 5 (x-4) | x=13
Hallo guest!
3/5(x+2) = x-4 |*5
3(x+2) = 5x-20
3x+6 = 5x-20 |-5x
-2x+6 = -20 |-6
-2x = -14 |:(-2)
x = 7
Hmm. 2 different answers. :o
-2x = -26 |:(-2)
x = 13
sorry
