5(2x-8)=90
10x-40=90
add 40 to both sides
10x=130
divide 130 by 10
and the answer Is x=13
This is not a math problem, i think. you should post it on biology.
the answer is e.
i'd like to explain it to you, but sorry, i can't, because i'm not a native english speaker. i can't explain such a difficult problem in english.
First, you must distribute 2(3x-1).
To do that, you will multiply 2•3x, and 2•-1 because you are taking the number outside of the parentheses and multiplying (distributing) it to all the numbers inside
After distributing, the left side of your inequality will be 6x-2
Now you have

To find the value of x, you must subtract an x value from both sides of the equation, as well as a constant from each side.
so you have

And that will make the equation

Now, divide the variable side, ***BUT, because you are dividing by a negative number in an inequality, the inequality will switch sides.
Then, the value of x is greater than or equal to 2
You can solve this with next proportion =>
3 : 5 = 4 : x => 3x= 5*4 => 3x = 20 => x=20/3 = 6 (2/3)
The correct answer is x= 6 (2/3)
Good luck!!!
