x(8+2)+3=2(5+x)+5(x−1)−6
Simplify both sides of the equation.
x(8+2)+3=2(5+x)+5(x−1)−6
x(8+2)+3=(2)(5)+(2)(x)+(5)(x)+(5)(−1)+−6(Distribute)
10x+3=10+2x+5x+−5+−6
10x+3=(2x+5x)+(10+−5+−6)(Combine Like Terms)
10x+3=7x+−1
10x+3=7x−1
Subtract 7x from both sides.
10x+3−7x=7x−1−7x
3x+3=−1
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3x+3−3=−1−3
3x=−4
Divide both sides by 3.
3x/3= −4/3
x=−4/3
