A. one solution
B 4(2x-5) = 4
2x-5 = 1
2x = 6
x=3
To how many sig figs or decimal places? Could use 1735 if rounded to 2 significant figures (2sf)
Answer: x = -54
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
(2x) = (4x + 108)
Reorder the terms:
(2x) = (108 + 4x)
Remove parenthesis around (108 + 4x)
(2x) = 108 + 4x
Solving
(2x) = 108 + 4x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.
(2x) + -4x = 108 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: (2x) + -4x = -2x
-2x = 108 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
-2x = 108 + 0
-2x = 108
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -54
