Question

Please help! Thanks!!

Answer 1

x = 12

Explanation:

Given

`(2x-4)/(5)` = 4 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

2x - 4 = 20 ( add 4 to both sides )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12

Answer 2

x=12

Explanation:

(2x-4)/5=4

We move all terms to the left:

(2x-4)/5-(4)=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

(2x-4)-4*5=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(2x-4)-20=0

We get rid of parentheses

2x-4-20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x-24=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

2x=24

x=24/2

x=12
