Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4(5x - 2) = 72

Do the distributive property

20x - 8 = 72

Then add 8 to both sides to get 20x alone

20x - 8 = 72

+ 8 + 8

20x = 80

Then divide both sides by 20 to get x

$\frac{20x}{20} = \frac{80}{20}$

x = 4

Solving systems by elimination with multiplication: 8x+7y=20 and 4x-4y=-20

borishaifa [10]

If you put 0 in the place of x or y, which every one you choose, it will cancel it or and you can just divide the number next to it by the answer (-20, 20). Take it one step at a time, don't try to do both at the same time.
