Question

What is 4(2x+25)=20???

Answer 1

-10

Explanation:

simplify both sides of the equation.

4(2x+25)=20

(4) (2x)+(4) (25)=20

8x+100=20

subtract 100 from both sides.

8x+100 _100 =20_100

8x=-80

divide both sides by 8

8x=-80

8 8

x=-10

Answer 2

Hello!

Solve for x:

4(2x+25)=20

Distribute the 4 to the numbers inside the parenthesis.

8x + 100 = 20

Subtract 100 from both sides of the equation to get 8x by itself.

8x = -80

Divide both sides by 8

x = -10
