Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2(2x - 5 – 4) = 160 - 17?

Answer 1

Answer: $x=\frac{161}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(2x-5-4)=160-17 \\\\2(2x-9)=160-17 \\\\2(2x-9)=143 \\\\2x-9=\frac{143}{2} \\\\2x=\frac{143}{2}+9\\\\2x=\frac{161}{2}\\\\x=\frac{\frac{161}{2}}{2} \\\\x=\frac{161}{2*2}\\\\x=\frac{161}{4}$

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! :-)
