Solve the equation: 6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x
The solution to this question is obtained by combining the like terms, thereby simplifying the given expression.
Answer: The value of x for the given equation 6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x is 10/3.
Let's find the value of x.
Explanation:
6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x
⇒ 6 = 2x + 16 - 5x (2x and 5x are like terms)
⇒ 6 = 16 - 3x (subtracting like terms)
⇒ 3x = 16 - 6 --------> (shifting -3x from RHS to LHS and 6 from LHS to RHS)
⇒ 3x = 10
⇒ x = 10 / 3
Thus, the solution of the given equation 6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x is 10/3.
