Answer:
The value of x in the given equation is 0.89
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2(x - 3) = -2(x - 1)
Distribute 2 to (x - 3)
5x + 2x - 6 = -2(x - 1)
Distribute 2 to (x - 1)
5x + 2x - 6 = -2x + 2
Combine 5x and 2x on the left side of the equation.
7x - 6 = -2x + 2
Add 6 on both side of the equation.
7x = -2x + 8
Add 2x on both sides of the equation.
9x = 8
Now divide 9 from 8. Make sure you round the decimal because the quotient of these numbers is a repeating decimal.
x = 0.89
So, the value of x is 0.89
