What is a reasonable first step that can be used to solve the equation 2(x+6)=3(x-4)+5?

So there a few steps to solve this equation but what i would do first is multiply the varibles in the parantheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets do math:

In all i would do this to solve the equation:

our equation is 2(x+6)=3(x-4)+5

we open the parentheses:

2x+12=2x-12+5

then we simplfy the stuff inside

2x+12=2x-7

then subtract 2x from both sides

we get 12=-7 which is impossible

our answer would be no solution because there is no way 12 is equal to -7

the end

Distribute 2 to (x+6) and 3 to (x-4)
