Question

What is the value of x in 2(5x) = 14?

Answer 1

x = 1.4

Explanation:

We are given the following expression and we are to solve it for x:

2 (5x) = 14

So we will solve this in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, starting with the opening of brackets and multiplying the terms.

2 (5x) = 14

10x = 14

Dividing 14 by 10 to get:

x = 14/10

x = 1.4

Therefore, the value of x = 1.4.

Answer 2

x = 1.4

Explanation:

2(5x) = 14

Distribute the 2

10x=14

Divide by 10

10x/10 =14/10

x = 1.4
