Question

How do I solve 5(2+5x) = 180

Answer 1

x=6.8

Explanation:

The given equation is

5(2+5x)=180

First expand the bracket to obtain

10+25x=180

Group like terms to obtain

25x=180-10

This implies that,

25x=170

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x

This implies that,

`(25x)/(25)= (170)/(25)`

`x=(170)/(25)=6.8`

Hence x=6.8
