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

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
