answer:  [tex]x = 11[/tex]

work:

[tex]3(x+4)=5(x-2)[/tex]  | distribute 3 and 5 into the parentheses.

[tex]3x + 12 = 5x - 10[/tex]  | subtract 5x and move it over to 3x, and solve.

[tex]-2x + 12 = -10[/tex]  | subtract 12 and move it over to -10, and solve.

[tex]-2x = -22[/tex]  | divide by -2.

[tex]x = 11[/tex]  | final answer.

hope this helps! ❤ from peachimin

Gotcha!

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

Distributive Property

3x+12=5x-10

Subtract 5x from 3x & 12 from -10

So far, you would have: -2x=-22

Divide both sides by -2!

Answer: x=11
