solve the equation 5(x - 4) + 3 = 6
Answer (2)
x = 23/5In this problem, we're asked to solve the following equation:⇒ [tex]\sf 5(x-4) + 3=6[/tex]Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides.⇒ [tex]\sf 5(x-4)=6-3[/tex]⇒ [tex]\sf 5(x-4)=3[/tex]Step 2: Distribute 5.⇒ [tex]\sf 5*x-5*4=3[/tex]⇒ [tex]\sf 5x-20=3[/tex]Step 3: Add 20 to both sides.⇒ [tex]\sf 5x=3+20[/tex]⇒ [tex]\sf 5x=23[/tex]Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.⇒ [tex]\sf x=\cfrac{23}{5}[/tex]
