Question

Solve the equation for x 120(2x − 2) = 240

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, follow the order of operations as laid out below.

120(2x - 2) = 240 ----> Divide both sides by 120

2x - 2 = 2 ----> Add 2 to both sides

2x = 4 ------> Divide both sides by 2

x = 2

Answer 2

Answer: x= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

120(2x - 2) = 240

open the bracket

240x - 240 = 240

collect like terms

240x = 240 + 240

240x = 480

Divide bothside by 240

240x/240 = 480/240

x= 2
