Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 1
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
20x−−2x−16=6
20x+2x+−16=6
(20x+2x)+(−16)=6(Combine Like Terms)
22x+−16=6
22x−16=6
Step 2: Add 16 to both sides.
22x−16+16=6+16
22x=22
Step 3: Divide both sides by 22.
22x
22
=
22

Each term of 10x + 5 has 5 as a factor, and 10x + 5 = 5(2x + 1). To factor an expression by removing common factors proceed as in example 1. 3x is the greatest common factor of all three terms. Next look for factors that are common to all terms, and search out the greatest of these.
