Solve:4(2x – 3) = 3x + 13?

Question

Having a wee bit trouble figuring this out any help?

Answer 1

4(2x-3)=3x+13

8x-12=3x+13

+12         +12

8x=3x+25

-3x  -3x

5x=25

/5    /5

x=5

Answer 2

multiply terms on left:

8x-12=3x+13

group terms

8x-3x=13+12

5x=25

x=5

Answer 3

General rule: simplify in every step.

1) Use that 4 on the left. You get 4*2*x - 4*3 = 3*x + 13. Calculate it and you get 8x-12 = 3x+13.

2) Now put everything with x on one side and everything without on the other. Keep in mind that when things change sides, they also change signs. So you get

8x-3x = 13+12. Calculate that, you get 5x = 25.

3) Should be obvious by now - remove that 5, by dividing both sides with it. You get x = 5.

Answer 4

basically solve in any problem means to find the value of X or Y or what ever the variable is.in the above question you posed to find the value of x so covert the complete equation in simple terms

4(2x-3)=3x+13

multiply 4

8x-12=3x+13

now bring all the x terms to one side

8x-3x=13+12

now simplify

5x =25

and voila there you have it

x=25/5

x=5

Answer 5

you have to get all Xs on the same side as well as getting the numbers to the smallest whole numbers as possible to make it easiest.

multiply the 4 on the left side through the rest of the side

8x-12 = 3x+13

subract the 3x from both sides and add 12 to both sides

5x = 25

divide both sides by 5

x=5
