Question

2(4x+3)=10x-2 Anyone know how to work this out? Working out needed

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. expand.

$8x + 6 = 10x - 2$

2. Subtract 8x from both sides.

$6 = 10x - 2 - 8x$

3. simplify 10x - 2 - 8x to 2x - 2.

$6 = 2x - 2$

4. Add 2 to both sides.

$6 + 2 = 2x$

5. Simplify 6+2 to 8.

$8 = 2x$

6. Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{8}{2} = x$

7. Simplify 8/2 to 4.

$4 = x$

8. switch sides.

$x = 4$

Therefor, rhe answer is x=4
