Question 750147
{{{2x=5+3(4x-5)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2x=5+12x-15}}} Distribute.



{{{2x=12x-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{2x-12x=-10}}} Subtract {{{12x}}} from both sides.



{{{-10x=-10}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(-10)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=1}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=1}}}
