Question

$$4x+2(2x-5)=( \times -3)-(8-x)$$

Answer

x=(2-*3)/7

Solution


Remove parentheses.
\[4x+2(2x-5)=\times -3-8+x\]
Simplify negative sign.
\[4x+2(2x-5)=-\times 3-8+x\]
Expand.
\[4x+4x-10=-\times 3-8+x\]
Simplify  \(4x+4x-10\)  to  \(8x-10\).
\[8x-10=-\times 3-8+x\]
Add \(10\) to both sides.
\[8x=-\times 3-8+x+10\]
Simplify  \(-\times 3-8+x+10\)  to  \(x+2-\times 3\).
\[8x=x+2-\times 3\]
Subtract \(x\) from both sides.
\[8x-x=2-\times 3\]
Simplify  \(8x-x\)  to  \(7x\).
\[7x=2-\times 3\]
Divide both sides by \(7\).
\[x=\frac{2-\times 3}{7}\]
