Question

Solve for x: 4(x-5) 8 =9y x = [?]y+[ ]

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so this is it, then:

$\frac{4(x-5)}{8}=9y$ First distribute the 4 into the parenthesis to get rid of them.  This gives you:

$\frac{4x-20}{8}=9y$ Now undo the division of 8 by multiplying both sides by 8 to get:

4x - 20 = 72y  Add 20 to both sides to get:

4x = 92y so

x = 23y
