Question 93672
Question:

2( x + 4 ) - 5( x - 3 ) = 32


Answer:


2( x + 4 ) - 5( x - 3 ) = 32


==> 2*x + 2* 4   - 5* x +5* 3  = 32




==> 2x + 8   - 5x + 15  = 32



==> -3x + 23 = 32 


Subtract 23 from both sides..



==> -3x + 23 - 23 = 32 - 23



==> -3x = 9


Divide both sides by -3



==> {{{ -3x/-3 = 9/-3}}}



==> x = -3, which is the solution.



Hope you found the explanation useful.
