Answer:
[tex]x=-\frac{8}{19}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4x + 5) = 9(3x + 2)
Solve for x
___________________
We have an alrebaric expressio and are asked to solve for x, which to do this, we need to isolate x.
2(4x + 5) = 9(3x + 2)
Distribute :
(2(4x) + 2(5)) = (9(3x) + 9(2))
8x + 10 = 27x + 18
Subtract 10 from both sides :
8x = 27x + 8
Subtract 27x from both sides :
-19x = 8
8 = -19x
Divide both sides by -19 :
[tex]x=-\frac{8}{19}[/tex]
