Question

What is the solution to the following equation? 5(2x - 6) + 20 = 10 09 05 03 O2

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x- 6) + 20 = 10

10x - 30 = -10

10x = 20

x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

O2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x-6)+20=10

Use distirbutive property:

10x-30 because, 5×2 = 10, and 5×6=30

Now we have

10x-30+20=10

Now combine the like terms

10x-10=10

Send the 10 to the other side(it turns into positive 10 because it was negative 10 on the other side)

10x = 10+10

10x=20

Divide 10 by both sides

x/10 = 20/10

x=2
