- Foil -5(x - 4): [tex] 3x-5x+20=-6 [/tex]
- Combine like terms: [tex] -2x+20=-6 [/tex]
- Subtract 20 on both sides: [tex] -2x=-26 [/tex]
- Lastly, divide both sides by 2, and your answer will be [tex] x=13 [/tex]
3x - 5(x - 4) = -6
- Distribute 5 inside the parentheses.
3x - 5x + 20 = -6
- Combine like terms.
-2x + 20 = -6
- Subtract 20 from both sides.
-2x = -26
- Divide both sides by -2.
x = 13
- is your answer.
