Solve 2(4x-5)+2(x+8)=5x

Evaluate

2 (4 x - 5) + 2 (x + 8) = 5 x

Move the expression to the left side

2 (4 x - 5) + 2 (x + 8) - 5 x = 0

Calculate the sum or difference

More Steps

5 x + 6 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

5 x = 0 - 6

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

5 x = - 6

Divide both sides

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{- 6}{5}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 6}{5}

Solution

x = - \frac{6}{5}

Alternative Form

x = - 1.2
