Question

Solve: 10+5(x-4) = 35 ​

Answer 1

x=13

Explanation:

Answer 2

x=9

Explanation:

10+5(x−4)=35 Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 10+5(x−4)=35

10+(5)(x)+(5)(−4)=35(Distribute)

10+5x+−20=35

(5x)+(10+−20)=35(Combine Like Terms)

5x+−10=35

5x−10=35

Step 2: Add 10 to both sides.

5x−10+10=35+10

5x=45

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = 45/5

x=9
