Solve 3(2x-13)=2(4x 1)

Evaluate

3 (2 x - 13) = 2 (4 x \times 1)

Remove the parentheses

3 (2 x - 13) = 2 \times 4 x \times 1

Multiply the terms

More Steps

3 (2 x - 13) = 8 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

6 x - 39 = 8 x

Move the variable to the left side

6 x - 39 - 8 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 2 x - 39 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 2 x = 0 + 39

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

- 2 x = 39

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

2 x = - 39

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{- 39}{2}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 39}{2}

Solution

x = - \frac{39}{2}

Alternative Form

x = - 19.5
