1) 4(x - 1) = 6(x + 2) = 8(x - 3)
Let's simplify the expressions:4x - 4 = 6x + 12-10 = 2xx = -5
6x + 12 = 8x - 24-36 = 2xx = -18
Therefore, the solutions are x = -5 and x = -18.
2) 3(x + 1) = 7(x - 3) = 10(x + 2) - 38
Let's simplify the expressions:3x + 3 = 7x - 21-4x = -24x = 6
7x - 21 = 10x + 20 - 387x - 21 = 10x - 18-3x = 3x = -1
Therefore, the solutions are x = 6, and x = -1.
1) 4(x - 1) = 6(x + 2) = 8(x - 3)
Let's simplify the expressions:
4x - 4 = 6x + 12
-10 = 2x
x = -5
6x + 12 = 8x - 24
-36 = 2x
x = -18
Therefore, the solutions are x = -5 and x = -18.
2) 3(x + 1) = 7(x - 3) = 10(x + 2) - 38
Let's simplify the expressions:
3x + 3 = 7x - 21
-4x = -24
x = 6
7x - 21 = 10x + 20 - 38
7x - 21 = 10x - 18
-3x = 3
x = -1
Therefore, the solutions are x = 6, and x = -1.
