Question

10x + 50 + 6x = 58 if x is the solution to the given equation, what is the value of 32x

Answer 1

The solution to the given equation is;

`\begin{gathered} 10x+50+6x=58 \\ \text{Collect all like terms,} \\ 10x+6x=58-50 \\ 16x=8 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 16} \\ (16x)/(16)=(8)/(16) \\ x=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of 32x shall be;

`\begin{gathered} 32x \\ =32((1)/(2)) \\ =(32)/(2) \\ =16 \end{gathered}`

The answer is 16
