Question 338184


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



{{{50-x-3x-2=2}}} Distribute.



{{{-4x+48=2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4x=2-48}}} Subtract {{{48}}} from both sides.



{{{-4x=-46}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-46)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=23/2}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=23/2}}}
