Solve 5(2x-1)=4x-23

Evaluate

5 (2 x - 1) = 4 x - 23

Expand the expression

More Steps

10 x - 5 = 4 x - 23

Move the expression to the left side

10 x - 5 - 4 x = - 23

Move the expression to the right side

10 x - 4 x = - 23 + 5

Add and subtract

More Steps

6 x = - 23 + 5

Add and subtract

6 x = - 18

Divide both sides

\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{- 18}{6}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 18}{6}
