3 (x - 2) + 4x = 10 (x + 1)

(25 pts 4 answering right)

x = - 5.33333333

Step-by-step explanation:

Using dist. prop

3x - 6 + 4x = 10x + 10

combine like terms

7x - 6 = 10x + 10

move the 6 over

7x = 10x + 16

move the 10x over

-3x = 16

divide by - 3

x = - 5.33333333

-16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x-2) + 4x = 10 (x+1)

Expand brackets

3x - 6 + 4x = 10x+10

Collect like terms;

3x+4x - 6 = 10x+10

7x-6 = 10x+10

Collect like terms;

7x-10x = 10+6

-3x = 166

X = - 16/3 = - 5 1/3
