Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline85(6x2)=7(5x6)+5 -8-5(6 x-2)=-7(5 x-6)+5 \newline
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, let's distribute the 5-5 into the parentheses on the left side and the 7-7 into the parentheses on the right side.\newline85(6x2)=7(5x6)+5-8 - 5(6x - 2) = -7(5x - 6) + 5\newline830x+10=35x+42+5-8 - 30x + 10 = -35x + 42 + 5
  2. Combine Like Terms: Now, let's combine like terms on each side of the equation. \newline30x+2=35x+47-30x + 2 = -35x + 47
  3. Add/Subtract Terms: Next, we'll add 35x35x to both sides to get the xx terms on one side.\newline30x+35x+2=35x+35x+47-30x + 35x + 2 = -35x + 35x + 47\newline5x+2=475x + 2 = 47
  4. Isolate x Term: Then, we subtract 22 from both sides to isolate the 5x5x term.\newline5x+22=4725x + 2 - 2 = 47 - 2\newline5x=455x = 45
  5. Solve for x: Finally, we divide both sides by 55 to solve for x.\newline5x5=455\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{45}{5}\newlinex=9x = 9
