Question

Solve for x.

5(2x - 1) = 6

x = 1/10
x = 11/10
x = 1/2

Answer 1

Distributive Law : x=
`(11)/(10)`

Explanation:

5(2x - 1) = 6

Using Distributive law on right hand side we get

5*2x - 5 * 1 = 6

10x - 5 = 6

Now we add 5 on both hand sides

10x-5+5=6+5

10x= 11

Now we divide both sides by 10

`(10x)/(10) = (11)/(10)`

Hence we get

x=
`(11)/(10)`
