Solve for x in this equation. 2(3x - 4) = 9(8 + 5x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

first we multiply 2 by (3x - 4) in the left side, and multiply 9 by (8 + 5x) in the right side:

now we move all terms with x to the left, and all independent terms to the right:

finally we divide by (-39) both sides of the equation:

making this division we get:

or you can just leave the answer as

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10

y=x+9
