Question 593519
{{{5x+2(x-3)=-2(x-1)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x+2x-6=-2x+2}}} Distribute.



{{{7x-6=-2x+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{7x=-2x+2+6}}} Add {{{6}}} to both sides.



{{{7x+2x=2+6}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{9x=2+6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{9x=8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(8)/(9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{9}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=8/9}}}
