Question 913546
{{{8x-15(-3x+2)=2}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8x+45x-30=2}}} Distribute.



{{{53x-30=2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{53x=2+30}}} Add {{{30}}} to both sides.



{{{53x=32}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(32)/(53)}}} Divide both sides by {{{53}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=32/53}}}
