Question 751216
{{{5(2x-1)=8x+7}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{10x-5=8x+7}}} Distribute.



{{{10x=8x+7+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{10x-8x=7+5}}} Subtract {{{8x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=7+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(12)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=6}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=6}}}
