Answer :

Answer:

x = - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

given the equation

[tex]\frac{5x-4}{3}[/tex] = 2(x + 2)

multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

5x - 4 = 6(x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on right side

5x - 4 = 6x + 12 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- x - 4 = 12 ( add 4 to both sides )

- x = 16 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 16

Answer: x = - 16

Step-by-step:

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

→  (5x-4)/3 = 2x+4

→  5x-4 = 6x+12

→ 5x-6x = 12+4

→ -x = 16

→ x = -1
