Answer:
the answer should be 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Remove parentheses.
3(3x-8)-5(3x-8)=4x-16-6(x-2)3(3x−8)−5(3x−8)=4x−16−6(x−2)
2 Simplify 3(3x-8)-5(3x-8)3(3x−8)−5(3x−8) to -2(3x-8)−2(3x−8).
-2(3x-8)=4x-16-6(x-2)−2(3x−8)=4x−16−6(x−2)
3 Expand.
-6x+16=4x-16-6x+12−6x+16=4x−16−6x+12
4 Simplify 4x-16-6x+124x−16−6x+12 to -2x-4−2x−4.
-6x+16=-2x-4−6x+16=−2x−4
5 Add 6x6x to both sides.
16=-2x-4+6x16=−2x−4+6x
6 Simplify -2x-4+6x−2x−4+6x to 4x-44x−4.
16=4x-416=4x−4
7 Add 44 to both sides.
16+4=4x16+4=4x
8 Simplify 16+416+4 to 2020.
20=4x20=4x
9 Divide both sides by 44.
\frac{20}{4}=x
4

=x
10 Simplify \frac{20}{4}

20
to 55.
5=x5=x
11 Switch sides.
x=5x=5
