Question

What is the solution to the following equation? (1 point) 8(2x − 10) + 18 = 4x + 22 4 5 7 8

Answer 1

x=7

Explanation:

8(2x-10)+18=4x+22

distribute the 8

16x-80+18=4x+22

simplify

16x-62=4x+22

ads 62 to each side

16x=4x+84

subtract 4x from each side

12x=84

divide each side by 12

x=7
