Question 914022
{{{4-8(2x-3)=9x+2x-15}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4-16x+24=9x+2x-15}}} Distribute.



{{{28-16x=9x+2x-15}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{28-16x=-15+11x}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-16x=-15+11x-28}}} Subtract {{{28}}} from both sides.



{{{-16x-11x=-15-28}}} Subtract {{{11x}}} from both sides.



{{{-27x=-15-28}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-27x=-43}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-43)/(-27)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-27}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=43/27}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=43/27}}}
