Solve the linear equation. 8x+32=2(25x−15)−11x8x+32=2(25x−15)−11x

Q:
Solve the linear equation. 8x+32=2(25x−15)−11x8x+32=2(25x−15)−11x
Accepted Solution
A:
It seems like you put the same equation up there twice, but no worries! :)
8x + 32 = 2(25x - 15) - 11x
Simplify.
8x + 32 = 50x - 30 - 11x
Add like terms.
8x + 32 = (50x - 11x) - 30
Simplify.
8x + 32 = 39x - 30
Now we must subtract 32 from both sides.
8x = 39x - 30 - 32
Then, subtract 39x from both sides.
8x - 39x = -30 - 32
Simplify.
-31x = -62
Finally, divide both sides by -31.
-31x ÷ -31 = -62 ÷ -31
Simplify.
x = 2
~Hope I helped!~
