What is the correct answer for3(x-1) -8=4(1+x)+5

First to figure out the problem you need to distribute the 3 and the 4. You get, 3x-3-8=4+4x+5. Now you need to combine the coefficients. After doing this you will have 3x-11=9+4x. Now to get x by itself you need to subtract 3x from both sides. You will have -11=9+x. Then you subtract 9 from both sides and you end up with x=-20

3(x-1)-8=4(1+x)+5

3x-3-8= 4+4x+5

3x-11=9+4x

-3x        -3x

-11=9+x

-9   -9

-20=x

x = 25

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
