Gwyneth begins solving for x in the equation 2 (x minus 4) = 5 (4 minus 2 x) + 4 x. After applying the distributive property and combining like terms, which equation will Gwyneth have to solve in order to determine the value of x?

Respuesta :

[tex]2(x-4)=5(4-2x)+4x[/tex]

[tex]2x-8=20-10x+4x[/tex]

[tex]2x+10x-4x=20+8[/tex]

[tex]8x=28\\x=\frac{28}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{28/4}{8/4}=\frac{7}{2} \\x=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

2 x minus 8 = 20 minus 6 x
