4(2x-3)=8(2x+5) find the value of x
You asked:
Solve the equation \[4 \cdot \left(2 x - 3\right) = 8 \cdot \left(2 x + 5\right)\] for the unknown \(x\).
MathBot Answer:
The solution is: \[x = - \frac{13}{2} = -6.5\]
\[\begin{aligned}8 x - 12 &= 16 x + 40\\- 8 x &= 52\\x &= - \frac{13}{2}\end{aligned}\]
