$x = - 32$ $color(maroon)(x = - 32$

Explanation:

$9 (x + 20 = 5 [11 - 2 (2 - x) + 3]$ $9(x+20 = 5 [11 - 2(2 -x) + 3]$

$9 (x + 2) = 5 \cdot 11 - 5 \cdot 2 \cdot (2 - x) + 5 \cdot 3, removing [ ] bracket$ $9(x+2) = 5 * 11 - 5 * 2 * (2 - x) + 5 * 3, color(blue)(" removing [ ] bracket"$

$9 x + 18 = 55 - 20 + 10 x + 15, Removing () braces$ $9x + 18 = 55 - 20 + 10x + 15, color(green)(" Removing () braces "$

$9 x - 10 x = 55 - 20 + 15 - 18 . bringing like terms together$ $9x - 10x = 55 - 20 + 15 - 18. color(crimson)(" bringing like terms together"$

$- x = 70 - 38 = 32$ $-x = 70 - 38 = 32$

$x = - 32$ $color(maroon)(x = - 32$

$x = - 32$ $x = -32$

Explanation:

$9 (x + 2) = 5 [11 - 2 (2 - x) + 3]$ $9(x+2) = 5[11-2(2-x)+3]$

Expand and Simplify Both Sides (Following Bedmas)

$9 x + 18 = 5 [11 - 4 + 2 x + 3]$ $9x+18 = 5[11-4+2x+3]$

$9 x + 18 = 5 [10 + 2 x]$ $9x+18 = 5[10+2x]$

$9 x + 18 = 50 + 10 x$ $9x+18 = 50+10x$

Isolate for $x$ $x$

$18 - 50 = 10 x - 9 x$ $18 - 50 = 10x - 9x$

$- 32 = x$ $-32 = x$
