Question

Solve for x. 5(х – 10) = 30 — 15х ox = 1 ox = 4 ox = 5 ох= 8 х = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Carry out the multiplication:

5(х – 10) = 30 — 15х => 5x - 50 = 30 - 15x

Combining the x terms, we get:

20x - 50 = 30

Combining the constants on the right side:

20x = 80

Dividing both sides by 20 yields x = 4 (second given answer)
