Hello! :)

Answer:


\boxed{X=11}

*The answer must have a POSITIVE sign!*

Explanation:

Expand with distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

4*5=20

6*4=24

20x-24

2*8=16

2*10=20

16x+20

20x-24=16x+20

First, you add by 24 both sides of an equation.

20x-24+24=16x+20+24

20x=16x+44

You subtract by 16x both sides of an equation.

20x-16x=16x+44-16x

4x=44

Then, you divide by 4 both sides of an equation.

4x/4=44/4

Divide by the numbers from left to right.

44/4=11

X=11 is the final answer

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)
