Question

4(x-5)=10(x-10)

solve for x

Answer 1

x = 40/3

Explanation:

4(x-5)=10(x-10)

=> 4x - 20 = 10x - 100

=> 4x - 10x = - 100 + 20

=> -6x = -80

=> x = 80/6

=> x = 40/3

Answer 2

40/3

Explanation:

4x -20 = 10x -100 (Distributive Property)

4x -10x = -100 +20 (I swith the numbers so all of them are similar)

-6x= -80 (Divide -6 on both sides)

And you will get 40/3 or 13.3333..
