Answer: x = 14.5
Step-by-step explanation:
10(8+3)-(-9x - 4) = x - 5+ 3
Remember PEMDAS for order of operation
First parentheses
Multiply the outside value to the inside or you can add the inside value and then multiply
10(8+3) = 10(11) = 110
-(-9x - 4) = 9x + 4
110+9x+4 = x-5+3
Now we will add or subtract
110 + 4 = 114
114 + 9x
-5 + 3 = -2
x - 2
114+9x = x-2
Now we are going to isolate the x
114+9x = x-2
subtract 114 to both sides
9x = x-116
subtract x from both sides
8x = 116
divide by 8 on both sides
x = 14.5
