2-(3x-4) = 2x -9

Solve the equation above to solve for x


Sagot :

Answer:

2-(3x-4) = 2x -9

-6x + 8 = 2x - 9

6x = 17

x = 2.833

3 approximately

Distribute the negative to 3x-4.

2 -3x+4 = 2x-9

-3x+8 = 2x-9

Add 3x on both sides.

8 = 5x - 9

Add 9 to both sides.

17 = 5x

Divide 5 on both sides to isolate x.

x = 17/5
