Question

Solve the equation 2(x − 5) = 5x + 23

  1. 10
  2. 11
  3. - 11
  4. - 10

hintHint:

w e space c a n space c h e c k space w h e a t h e r space o u r space a n s w e r space i s space c o r r e c t space o r space n o t space o n space p u t t i n g space t h e space v a l u e space o f space x space o n space t h e space g i v e n space e q u a t i o n

The correct answer is: - 11


    x space equals space minus 11 space i s space t h e space c o r r e c t space c h o i c e

2 left parenthesis space x space minus space 5 right parenthesis space equals space 5 x space plus space 23 space left parenthesis space g i v e n space e q u a t i o n right parenthesis
2 x space minus 10 space equals 5 x space plus space 23
o n space a r r a n g i n g space t h e space e q u a t i o n
5 x space minus space 2 x space equals space minus 10 space minus space 23
3 x space equals space minus 33
x space equals space fraction numerator negative 33 over denominator 3 end fraction space equals space minus 11
s o space x space equals space minus 11 space i s space t h e space a n s w e r
