Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 5(x - 3) = 18
8x - 5x + 15 = 18
3x = 18 - 15
3x = 3
x = 1
Answer:
[tex]x=1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8x-5(x - 3) = 18[/tex] Distribute the 5
[tex]8x-5x+15=18[/tex] Combine like terms: 8x and -5x
[tex]3x+15=18[/tex] Subtract 15 on both sides
[tex]3x=15[/tex] Isolate the varable, divide 3 on both side
[tex]x=1[/tex]
