Problem: -3+2(9x-5)=5(3x+2)
how do you solve this algebra equation?
-3 + 2(9x - 5) = 5(3x + 2)
-3 + 18x - 10 = 15x + 10
18x - 13 = 15x + 10
18x - 13 + 13 = 15x + 10 + 13
18x = 15x + 23
18x - 15x = 15x + 23 - 15x
3x = 23
3x/3 = 23/3
x = 23/3
Check it.
-3 + 2(9x - 5) = 5(3x + 2)
-3 + 2(9(23/3) - 5) = 5(3(23/3) + 2)
-3 + 2(69 - 5) = 5(23 + 2)
-3 + 2(64) = 5(25)
-3 + 128 = 125
125 = 125
Answer: x = 23/3 = 7 2/3
