Question

Check all of the steps that would be used to solve this equation: 2(x-5)=24

Answer 1

X=17

Distribute 2(x-5)
You are left with 2x-10=24
You then want to get 2x by itself so add 10 on both sides so that you get 2x=34
Isolate x completely by dividing by 2 on both sides which then leaves you with x=17
