Question

Solve for x.

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

`(2(x+5))/(3) =2x-10`

Step 1. Distribute

`(2x+10)/(3) =2x-10`

Step 2. Multiply both sides by 3 then distribute

`2x+10=3(2x-10)`

`2x+10=6x-30`

Step 3. Subtract 10 from both sides

`2x=6x-40`

Step 4. Subtract 6x from both sides

`-4x=-40`

Step 5. Divide both sides by -4

`x=10`
