Question

Consider the equation showing the distributibe property.40+55=5(8+__)Enter the unknow value that would make the equation true.

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

40+55 = 5 (8+__)

Step 02:

Distributive property

40+ 55 = 5 * (8+ x)

95 = 5 * ( 8 + x)

95 = 40 + 5x

95 - 40 = 5x

55 = 5x

55/ 5 = x

11 = x

The answer is:

x = 11
