Question

12(4x−5)+5/2=10 solve for x pls help!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$12(4x - 5) + \frac{5}{2}=10$

Multiply the whole equation by 2

$2*12(4x -5) + \frac{5}{2}*2=10*2\\\\24(4x-5) + 2 = 20$

24*4x - 5*24 + 2 = 20

96x - 120 + 2 = 20

 96x - 118 = 20

Add 118 to both sides

       96x = 20 +118

       96x = 138

Divide both sides by 96

x = 138/96  = 23/16

$x = 1 \frac{7}{16}$
