Question

5 (x -3) - 4 = 2 (x-1)

 

 

Answer 1

\(5\left(x-3\right)-4=2\left(x-1\right)\)

\(\Leftrightarrow5x-15-4=2x-2\)

\(\Leftrightarrow3x=17\)

\(\Leftrightarrow x=\dfrac{17}{3}\)

Answer 2

    \(5\left(x-3\right)-4=2\left(x-1\right)\)

 \(5x-15-4=2x-2\\ \text{⇔}5x-2x=15+4-2\\\text{⇔} 3x=17\\ \text{⇔}x=\dfrac{17}{3}\)

Answer 3

\(5\left(x-3\right)-4=2\left(x-1\right)\)

\(\Leftrightarrow5x-15-4-2x+2=0\)

\(\Leftrightarrow3x-17=0\)

\(\Leftrightarrow x=\dfrac{17}{3}\)
