Answer:
x = 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5x + 2(x-3) = -2(x-1)\\5x + 2(x) + 2(-3) = -2(x) - 2(-1)\\5x + 2x - 6 = -2x + 2\\9x = 8\\x = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x + 2(x - 3) = - 2(x - 1) ← distribute both sides
5x + 2x - 6 = - 2x + 2, that is
7x - 6 = - 2x + 2 ( add 2x to both sides )
9x - 6 = 2 ( add 6 from both sides )
9x = 8 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = [tex]\frac{8}{9\\}[/tex]
