Question 324248


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



{{{6x+9=x-5}}} Distribute.



{{{6x=x-5-9}}} Subtract {{{9}}} from both sides.



{{{6x-x=-5-9}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{5x=-5-9}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=-14}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-14)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-14/5}}}
