Question

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 8 ( 6 x + 2 ) = 5 ( x - 2 ) } \\ { 2 ( 3 x - 4 ) = 7 ( 11 - 2 x ) } \end{array} \right.$$

Answer

x=-0.31856307983398,1.2976676940918,2.0208961486816

Solution


Simplify  \(8(6x+2)\times 5(x-2)\times 2(3x-4)\)  to  \(80(6x+2)(x-2)(3x-4)\).
\[80(6x+2)(x-2)(3x-4)=7(11-2x)\]
Expand.
\[1440{x}^{3}-1920{x}^{2}-2880{x}^{2}+3840x+480{x}^{2}-640x-960x+1280=77-14x\]
Simplify  \(1440{x}^{3}-1920{x}^{2}-2880{x}^{2}+3840x+480{x}^{2}-640x-960x+1280\)  to  \(1440{x}^{3}-4320{x}^{2}+2240x+1280\).
\[1440{x}^{3}-4320{x}^{2}+2240x+1280=77-14x\]
Move all terms to one side.
\[1440{x}^{3}-4320{x}^{2}+2240x+1280-77+14x=0\]
Simplify  \(1440{x}^{3}-4320{x}^{2}+2240x+1280-77+14x\)  to  \(1440{x}^{3}-4320{x}^{2}+2254x+1203\).
\[1440{x}^{3}-4320{x}^{2}+2254x+1203=0\]
