What is the solution to this equation?
6(x-5)=4x+20

Answer 1

x=25

Explanation:

6(x-5) 4x+20

Distribute.

6x-30 = 4x+20

Subtract 4x from each side.

6x-4x-30 = 4x-4x+20

Simplify.

2x-30=20

Add 30 to both sides.

2x-30+30 = 20+30

Simplify.

2x = 50

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 50/2

Simplify

x = 25

So, x = 25!

Answer 2

x = 25

Explanation:

What is the solution to this equation?

6 * (x - 5) = 4x + 20

6x - 30 = 4x + 20

2x = 20 + 30

2x = 50

x = 50 : 2

x = 25

-------------------

check

6 * ( 25 - 5) = 4 * 25 + 20

6 * 20 = 100 + 20

120 = 120

the answer is good
