Solve 6(5-3x)=-8x-7

Evaluate

6 (5 - 3 x) = - 8 x - 7

Expand the expression

More Steps

30 - 18 x = - 8 x - 7

Move the expression to the left side

30 - 18 x + 8 x = - 7

Move the expression to the right side

- 18 x + 8 x = - 7 - 30

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 10 x = - 7 - 30

Add and subtract

- 10 x = - 37

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

10 x = 37

Divide both sides

\frac{10 x}{10} = \frac{37}{10}

Solution

x = \frac{37}{10}

Alternative Form

x = 3.7
