Answer:
[tex]3x + 5 = 8(6 - 5x) \\ 3x + 5 = 48 - 40x \\ collect \: like \: terms \: \\ 3x + 40x = 48 - 5 \\ 43x = 43 \\ x = \frac{43}{43} \\ x = 1 [/tex]
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 8 and 6 and multiply 8 and 5x which would look like this...
3x+5=48-40x
now we get all the Xs on one side so we do the opposite...
3x+5=48-40x we add 40 to 3 because opposite of subtract is add...
43x+5=48 subtract 5 from 48 because opposite of add is subtract....
43x+43 simplify
x=1
