Question 505243
{{{5(5x+3)=3(8x-2)+4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{25x+15=24x-6+4}}} Distribute.



{{{25x+15=24x-2}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{25x=24x-2-15}}} Subtract {{{15}}} from both sides.



{{{25x-24x=-2-15}}} Subtract {{{24x}}} from both sides.



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



{{{x=-17}}} Combine like terms on the right side.
