Question 178533
</pre><font size=4><b>
{{{5x-3(2x-7)=11x+3}}}--------->Workign eqn
Distribute:
{{{5x-6x+21=11x+3}}}
Combine similar terms:
{{{21-3=11x+6x-5x}}}
{{{18=12x}}}------>{{{cross(18)3/cross(12)2=cross(12)x/cross(12)}}}
{{{highlight(x=3/2)}}} Answer
In doubt? Go back working eqn:
{{{5(3/2)-3(2(3/2)-7)=11(3/2)+3}}}
{{{(15/2)-3(6/2-7)=(33/2)+3}}}
{{{(15/2)-3((6-14)/2)=(33+6)/2}}}
{{{(15/2)-3(-8/2)=39/2}}}
{{{(15/2)+(24/2)=39/2}}}
{{{39/2=39/2}}}, good!
Thank you,
