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:

-25 + 75 = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don't know the value of the bar, we will call it x.

-25 + x = 50

Add 25 to both sides to find the value of x.

x = 75

You can also double check this answer by doing simple math.

-25 + 75 = 50

Help !!!! rectangle pqrs has side lengths of 7 and 3 as shown on the grid below
Inessa05 [86]
Even though you have reflected this triangle, your side length would still be the same. Explanation: Reflection is when you take an object on your coordinate plain and put it somewhere else on the plain. So if side QR is 3 than side Q’R’ would also be 3. Hope this helps!
