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

Answer:

Option 2: none of these

Step-by-step explanation:

-x +2y= 4

x-intercept occurs at y=0.

When y=0,

-x +2(0)= 4

-x= 4

x= -4

Thus, x-intercept is (-4,0).

y-intercept occurs at x=0.

When x=0,

0 +2y= 4

2y= 4

y= 4 ÷2

y= 2

Thus, y-intercept is (0,2).

*When writing coordinates, the x and y coordinates are separated by a comma in the bracket. If the 3rd option is a comma instead of a dot (which could instead denote a multiplication sign), it would be the correct option.
