How to do 2(x-5)-8=20

Mathematics

Answer:

<em>x = 19</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2 on the left side.

2(x - 5) - 8 = 20

2x - 10 - 8 = 20

Combine like terms on the left side.

2x - 18 = 20

Add 18 to both sides.

2x = 38

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 19

Answer:

Solution for 2(x-5)-8=20 equation:

Simplifying

2(x + -5) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

2(-5 + x) + -8 = 20

(-5 * 2 + x * 2) + -8 = 20

(-10 + 2x) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

-10 + -8 + 2x = 20

Combine like terms: -10 + -8 = -18

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '18' to each side of the equation.

-18 + 18 + 2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0

0 + 2x = 20 + 18

2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: 20 + 18 = 38

2x = 38

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 19

Simplifying

x = 19

Quadratic equation solve using formula​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

2 , 1\2

Step-by-step explanation:

b² - 4ac = (-5)² - 4*2*2

             = 25 - 16

             = 9

\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} = \sqrt{9} = \sqrt{3*3}=3

x= \dfrac{-[-5] + 3}{2*2} ;  x = \dfrac{-[-5]-3}{2*2}\\\\x =\dfrac{5+3}{4} ; x = \dfrac{5-3}{4}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{4}  ;x = \dfrac{2}{4}\\x = 2 ; x = \dfrac{1}{2}
