In this question, you're solving for x.

Solve for x:

2(4 - 8x) + 5(2x - 3) = 20 - 5x

Use the distributive property:

8 - 16x + 5(2x - 3) = 20 - 5x

8 - 16x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x

Combine like terms:

8 - 16x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x

8 - 6x - 15= 20 - 5x

-6x - 7 = 20 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides

-x - 7 = 20

Add 7 to both sides

-x = 27

Divide both sides by -1

x = -27

Answer:

x = -27

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

50 computers

Step-by-step explanation:

After reduction, he bought x computers hence price per unit was 1800000/x

Before reduction, price per unit was 1800000/(x-5)

The difference in the price is 4000 hence

\frac {1800000}{x}-\frac {1800000}{x-5}=4000\\4x^{2}-20x+9000=0\\x^{2}-5x+2250=0\\(x+45)(x-50)=0\\x=50 or -45

Therefore, x=50
