Answer:
The solution is [tex]x=7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]39= 2x- 5(-3x+16)[/tex]
Solve for x
Distribute right side
Remember that
[tex](-1)(-1)=+1\\(-1)(+1)=-1[/tex]
[tex]39=2x+5(3x)-5(16)[/tex]
[tex]39=2x+15x-80[/tex]
Combine like terms right side
[tex]39=17x-80[/tex]
Adds 80 both sides
[tex]39+80=17x[/tex]
[tex]119=17x[/tex]
Divide by 17 both sides
[tex]7=x[/tex]
Rewrite
[tex]x=7[/tex]
