Question

Solve the equation in the picture.

Answer 1

B) 5

Explanation:

Multiply both sides by 5

2(10x + 15) = 130

Distributive property

20x + 30 = 130

Subtract both sides by 30

20x = 100

Divide both sides by 20

x = 5

Answer 2

Option B). x=5

Explanation:

The equation is
`(2)/(5)(10x+15)=26`

Now we start solving the algebraic expression given

First we multiply both the sides of the equation by 5.

`(2)/(5)(10x+15)* 5=26 * 5`

`2(10x+15)=26* 5`

`20x+30=130`

Now we subtract 30 on both the sides of the equation

`(20x+30)-30=130-30`

`20x =100`

Now we divide both the sides by 20

`(20x)/(20)=(120)/(20)`

x = 5

So the option B) x = 5 is the right answer.
