Answer:
- Add -10 to both sides of the equation
- Combine 64 and 18
- Divide both sides by -9
Step-by-step explanation:
You might solve the equation as follows:
6x -5(3x -2) = 64 +18
6x -15x +10 = 64 +18 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
-9x +10 = 82 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . combine 64 and 18, combine 6x and -15x
-9x = 72 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -10 to both sides
x = -8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by -9
