Solve each of the following.a. 5(2a- 3) = 5a + 5Answer: ___________b. 2(4 + x) = 3x- 5Answer: ___________c. 2(-x + 5) = 2(x- 9)Answer: ___________

What will be an ideal response?


a. 5(2a- 3) = 5a + 5
    10a- 5a- 15 = 5a - 5a + 5
    5a- 15 + 15 = 5 + 15
    5a/5 = 20/5
    a = 4

b. 2(4 + x) = 3x- 5
    8 + 2x- 2x  = 3x- 2x- 5
    8 + 5 = x- 5 + 5
    13 = x

c. 2(-x + 5) = 2(x- 9)
    -2x + 10 = 2x- 18
    -2x + 2x + 10 = 2x + 2x- 18
    10 + 18 = 4x- 18 + 18
    28/4 = 4x/4
    7 = x
