Solve the equations: 1. 9x - 5 = 5x + 7
2. 8x - 2 = x - 16
3. 8x + 5 = 2x + 23
4. 2x + 8 = 5x + 20
5. 5(2x + 6) = 3x - 5

5(x – 4) + 3x – 9x = 6 – (2x + 5) + 8x

step1:-   5x - 20 + 3x - 9x = 6 - 2x - 5 + 8x

step2:- 5x + 3x - 9x - 20 = 8x - 2x + 6 - 5

-x - 20 = 6x + 1

stp 3

-20 = 7x + 1

step 4

-21 = 7x

divide both sides by 7:-

-3 = x

thats the solution   x  = -3

0.02040816326

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
