Question

Solve for x: 5(2x-4)=10

Answer 1

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation

We want to solve for x in:

5(2x - 4) = 10

To do this, first, expand the bracket:

(5 * 2x) - (5 * 4) = 10

10x - 20 = 10

Collect like terms:

10x = 10 + 20

10x = 30

Divide both sides by 10:

10x / 10 = 30 / 10

x = 3
