find x

5x-3(x-8)=2x-4

Answer 1

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-3(x-8)=2x-4

Distribute

5x -3x+24 = 2x-4

Combine like terms

2x +24 = 2x-4

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+24-2x = 2x-4-2x

24 = -4

This is not a true statement so there is no solution

Answer 2

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-3(x-8)=2x-4

1) Distribute:

5x -3x+24 = 2x-4

 

2) Simplify:

2x +24 = 2x-4

3) Subtract 2x from both sides

2x+24-2x = 2x-4-2x

We are now left with (after simplifying): 24 = -4

**NO SOLUTION!**
