5+3(-2x+1)=16 I need help

Sagot :

Given:

5 + 3(-2x + 1) = 16

Let's solve for x.

• Step 1:

Use distributive property to expand the parenthesis

5 + 3(-2x) + 3(1) = 16

5 - 6x + 3 = 16

• Step 2:

Combine like terms

-6x + 3 + 5 = 16

-6x + 8 = 16

• Step 3:

Subtract 8 from both sides

-6x + 8 - 8 = 16 - 8

-6x = 8

• Step 4:

Divide both sides by -6

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{8}{-6} \\ \\ x=-\frac{4}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

ANSWER:

[tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
