Answers
GPT 3.5
To determine the solution to the equation 2(3x+4)=5x+1, we first distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation:
6x + 8 = 5x + 1
Next, we subtract 5x from both sides to isolate the variable:
6x - 5x + 8 = 1
Simplifying the equation, we have:
x + 8 = 1
Then, we subtract 8 from both sides:
x = 1 - 8
x = -7
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -7.
6x + 8 = 5x + 1
Next, we subtract 5x from both sides to isolate the variable:
6x - 5x + 8 = 1
Simplifying the equation, we have:
x + 8 = 1
Then, we subtract 8 from both sides:
x = 1 - 8
x = -7
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -7.
