What is the solution to the equation

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

8 - 6x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x

Combine like terms:

4x - 7 = 20 - 5x

Isolate Variable

-x = 13

-1(-x) = -1(13)

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to apply Distributive property on the left side of the equation:

Now you must add the like terms on the left side of the equation:

Add to both sides:

Add 7 to boht sides of the equation:

And finally, divide both sides by 9:

#1

7(y+3)=5y+8

7y+21=5y+8

7y-5y=8-21

2y=-13

2y/2=-13/2

y=-6.5
