Answer
$2(1-x)=3(1+2x)+5$ Solution: $x=-\frac{3}{4}$
Work Step by Step
1. $2(1-x)=3(1+2x)+5$
2. Distribute the 2 and the 3:$2-2x=3+6x+5$
3. Combine like terms:$2-2x=8+6x$
4. Add $2x$ to each side: $2=8+8x$
5. Subtract 8 from each side: $-6=8x$
6. Divide each side by 8:$x=-\frac{6}{8}$
7. Reduce fraction: $x=-\frac{3}{4}$
