Answer:

(1) 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2x+1) – 3 (3x+2)=2(x+5)

first do distributive property:

8(2x+1) – 3 (3x+2)=2(x+5)

16x+8-9x-6=2x+10.

next combine like terms.

16x+8-9x-6=2x+10

7x+8-6=2x+10,

7x+2=2x+10.

Now subtract 2x from both sides.

7x+2-2=2x+10-2

5x+2=10

now subtract 2 from both sides.

5x+2-2=10-2

5x=8

Now you can divide by the coefficient which is 5.

and your answer will be:

[tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]  or [tex]1\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
