Question

Solve for x. 5(x – 10) = 30 – 15xx = 1 x = 4 x = 5 x = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x in $5(x - 10) = 30- 15x$  is 4

Solution:

The given equations is,

$5(x-10) = 30 -15x$

Simplifying left side we get,

$5(x-10) = 5x -5\times10 = 5x - 50$

Simplifying the right side we get, 30 -15x

Now equating left and right side we get,

$5x -50 = 30 -15x$

$5x+15x = 30+50$

$20 x = 80$

$x=\left(\frac{80}{20}\right)=4$

So, the value of x =4
