What is the value of x in the equation 3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

3x - 4 · 2x - 4 · (-5) = 15

3x - 8x + 20 = 15

Combine like terms

(3x - 8x) + 20 = 15

-5x + 20 = 15

Subtract 20 on both sides

-5x + 20 - 20 = 15 - 20

-5x = -5

Divide -5 on both sides

-5x / -5 = -5 / -5

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
