8(x-3)-(6-2x) =2(x+2)-5(5-x)

Answer»

8 (x - 3) - (6 - 2x ) = 2( x + 2) - 5(5 - x )

DISTRIBUTE the common factors:

8x - 24 - 6 + 2x = 2x + 4 - 25 + 5x

Combine like terms:

10x - 30 = 7x - 21

Subtract 7x from both sides:

3x - 30 = -21

Add 30 to both sides:

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 3


Answer: x = 3
