5(3x+9)+5(3x+9)+2(8x-4)+2(8x-4)

what is the x

1 answer

To solve the expression \( 5(3x + 9) + 5(3x + 9) + 2(8x - 4) + 2(8x - 4) \), we can first simplify it step by step.

  1. Combine like terms: \[ 5(3x + 9) + 5(3x + 9) = 10(3x + 9) = 30x + 90 \] \[ 2(8x - 4) + 2(8x - 4) = 4(8x - 4) = 32x - 16 \]

  2. Now, combine the two results: \[ 30x + 90 + 32x - 16 = (30x + 32x) + (90 - 16) \] \[ = 62x + 74 \]

Since the original question doesn't provide an equation (e.g., \( 62x + 74 = 0 \)), there is no specific value for \( x \) unless this expression is set equal to something. If you have a specific equation in mind, please provide that so we can find the value of \( x \).
