Question

Solve for the variable: 4+3(x+22)=5x-10

Answer 1

When we solve the equation, we will get the real answer x=40 as a variable.

First Degree Equation

First degree equation is a mathematical sentence, which has values represented by letters.

These letters can indicate a variable or an unknown - which at the end of the equation will be the final value.

— To solve this equation, just: apply the distributive property (multiply the terms that are outside the parentheses, for the terms that are inside the symbol).

— Next, let's add the real numbers together. Next, we'll subtract the like terms before the equality, thus moving the common term after the equality by adding.

— Finally, let's divide the equation, thus obtaining the final result.

4 + 3(x + 22) = 5x - 10

4 + 3x + 66 = 5x - 10

70 + 3x = 5x - 10

3x - 5x = -10 - 70

-2x = -80

x = 80 ÷ 2

x = 40

Therefore, the correct value of X in this equation, will be x = 40.
