Question

5(x-10)=30-15x
Solve for x

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

`\boxed{x=4}`

The answer should have a positive sign.

Explanation:

First, you do is expand.

5(x-10)=5x-50

5x-50=30-15x

Then add by 50 both sides of an equation.

5x-50+50=30-15x+50

Simplify.

5x=-15x+80

Next add 15x both sides of an equation.

5x+15=-15x+80+15x

Simplify.

20x=80

Divide by 20 both sides of an equation.

20x/20=80/20

Simplify and solve.

80/20=4

`\boxed{x=4}`, which is our final answer.

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Thanks!

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

This equation has 3 terms. Divide all of them by 5 to simplify the equation.

We get:

x - 10 = 6 - 3x

Combining the x terms, we get 4x - 10 = 6, or 4x = 16, or x = 4.
