<PRE><B>Question 402868</B>


{{{-5(3-2x)-(1-x)=4(x-3)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-15+10x+0+x=4x-12}}} Distribute.



{{{11x-15=4x-12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{11x=4x-12+15}}} Add {{{15}}} to both sides.



{{{11x-4x=-12+15}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



{{{7x=-12+15}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{7x=3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(3)/(7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=3/7}}} which approximates to {{{x=0.429}}}.
