Question

What is the value of x in the equation 32(4x – 1) – 3x = 54 –(x + 2)?

Answer 1

128x-32-3x-54+x+2=0
128x-3x+x+2-32-54=0
126x-84=0
126x=84
x=2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

Value of x is:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to determine the value of x in the equation:

32(4x – 1) – 3x = 54 –(x + 2)

32(4x – 1) – 3x = 54 –(x + 2)

⇒ 32×4x-32-3x= 54-x-2   (using the distributive property)

⇒ 128x-32-3x=54-x-2

Taking terms on x on one side and constant term on other, we get

128x-3x+x= 54-2+32

⇒ 126x= 84

⇒ x= 84/126

⇒ x= 2/3

Hence, Value of x is:

2/3
