Hello! :)
Answer:
*The answer must have a POSITIVE sign!*
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand with distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac
4*5=20
6*4=24
20x-24
2*8=16
2*10=20
16x+20
20x-24=16x+20
First, you add by 24 both sides of an equation.
20x-24+24=16x+20+24
20x=16x+44
You subtract by 16x both sides of an equation.
20x-16x=16x+44-16x
4x=44
Then, you divide by 4 both sides of an equation.
4x/4=44/4
Divide by the numbers from left to right.
44/4=11
<u><em>X=11 is the final answer</em></u>
Hope this helps!
Have a nice day! :)
