Answer 2

Answer:

$x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $4(2x-5)+15=11$. We are asked to solve our given equation by explaining each step.

First of all, we will subtract 15 from both sides of our given equation as:

$4(2x-5)+15-15=11-15$

$4(2x-5)=-4$

Now, we will divide both sides of our equation by 4 as:

$\frac{4(2x-5)}{4}=\frac{-4}{4}$

$2x-5=-1$

Now, we will add 5 on both sides of our equation.

$2x-5+5=-1+5$

$2x=4$

Finally, we will divide both sides of our equation by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4}{2}$

$x=2$

Therefore, the solution for our given equation is $x=2$.
