Question 219152
The equation should be {{{3(2x-5)=1+4x}}}. We're not looking for two numbers. We just want to find that one unknown value of 'x'.




{{{3(2x-5)=1+4x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6x-15=1+4x}}} Distribute.



{{{6x=1+4x+15}}} Add {{{15}}} to both sides.



{{{6x-4x=1+15}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=1+15}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(16)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=8}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=8}}} which means that the unknown number is 8.
