3(2x+3)-x = x-23 solve for x and if you show me good step by step explanation ill give you brainliest

x= -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute: 3(2x+3)-x is equal to 6x+9-x, or 5x+9

Rewrite: 5x+9=x-23

Add 23 to both sides to get rid of it on one: 5x+32=x

Subtract 5x from both sides to get rid of it on one: 32= -4x

Divide by -4: -8=x

x = -8

For length BC, where B(0,3) and C(4,-1)
following the axis, length ranges from 0 to 4(according to xaxis) and 3 to -1(according to yaxis) thus 4-0=4,3-(-1)=4 will give u length of 4 for BC.

For length EC, where E(2,-3) and C(4,-1)
following the axis,length ranges from 2 to 4(according to xaxis) and -3 to -1(according to yaxis), thus 4-2=2,-1-(-3)=2 will give u length of 2 for EC.
(its 4-2 and -1-(-3) not 2-4 and -3-(-1) as length cannot be -ve)

For lengths BF and EF, since BF//EC, BF=2. Since EF//BC, EF=4

Thus 4+2+4+2= 12 units
