What is 2 (x + 3+2x) = 5 (x-2)

If you are finding x then. X = - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step would be to multiply the term outside the parenthesis by each term inside the parenthesis on the left hand side and right hand side of equation. It becomes

2x + 6 + 4x = 5x - 10

6 + 10x = - 10 + 5x

Subtracting 5x and 6 from the left hand side and right hand side of equation. It becomes

10x - 5x = - 10 - 6

5x = - 16

Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of equation by 5, It becomes

5x/5 = - 16/5

x = - 3.2
