2[9 − (x −3) + 4x] =4x− 5(x +2) −8
You asked:
Solve the equation \(2 \left(9 - \left(x - 3\right) + 4 x\right) = 4 x - 5 \left(x + 2\right) - 8\) for the variable \(x\).
MathBot Answer:
The solution is: \[x = -6\]
\[\begin{aligned}2 \left(9 - \left(x - 3\right) + 4 x\right) &= 4 x - 5 \left(x + 2\right) - 8\\6 x + 24 &= - x - 18\\7 x &= -42\\x &= -6\end{aligned}\]
