Answer:

2.167 (rounded to the nearest hundredths).

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(2(3x - 4))/2 = (5)/2

3x - 4 = 2.5

Next, isolate the variable, x. Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

3x - 4 (+4) = 2.5 (+4)

3x = 2.5 + 4

3x = 6.5

Then, divide 3 from both sides of the equation:

(3x)/3 = (6.5)/3

x = 6.5/3 = 2.167 (rounded).

Answer:

We have this equation

2*(3x-4) = 5

We can start solving the parentheses

2*(3x- 4) = 5

6x - 8 = 5

We can add 8 to both sides

6x - 8 + 8 = 5 + 8

6x = 13

And divide by 6

6x/6 = 13/6

x = 13/6
