Q. Solve the following equation for x. Express your answer in the simplest form.4(5x−7)−2=−6+5(4x−5)
Combine like terms: Combine like terms on both sides of the equation. 20x−30=−6+20x−25
Move variable and constant terms: Now, let's move the variable terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side.Subtract 20x from both sides.20x−20x−30=−6−25−20x+20x0−30=−31
