Answer:

B. X=76

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to find the value of x. Remember to solve this problem, isolate x on one side of the equation.

(2x+10)=(86+x)

2x+10=(86+x)

DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

A(B+C)=AB+AC

A(B-C)=AB-AC

(86+x) (Expand.)

86+x (Remove parenthesis.)

2x+10=86+x

2x+10-10=86+x-10 (Subtract 10 from both sides.)

86-10 (Solve.)

86-10=76

2x=x+76

2x-x=x+76-x (Then, subtract x from both sides.)

76-x (Solve.)

76-x=76

x=76

The correct answer is (B.) 76.
