Question

Solve for x. 5(x – 10) = 30 – 15xx = 1 x = 4 x = 5 x = 8

Answer 1

The value of x in
`5(x - 10) = 30- 15x` is 4

Solution:

The given equations is,

`5(x-10) = 30 -15x`

Simplifying left side we get,

`5(x-10) = 5x -5*10 = 5x - 50`

Simplifying the right side we get, 30 -15x

Now equating left and right side we get,

`5x -50 = 30 -15x`

`5x+15x = 30+50`

`20 x = 80`

`x=\left((80)/(20)\right)=4`

So, the value of x =4
