Question

Each equation is solved incorrect. correct the equation

2(x-6)+5=20
2x-12+10=20
2x-2=22
X=11

Answer 1

Each equation is solved incorrect. correct the equation

2(x-6)+5=20

2x-12+10=20

2x-2=22

X=11

Answer 2

x = 13.5 is the correct value in the given expression.

Explanation:

Here, the given expression is: 2(x-6)+5=20

Now, the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY states:

A (B - C) = AB - AC

Now, simplifying the given expression, we get

2( x - 6) + 5 = 20 ⇒ 2(x) - 2(6) + 5 = 20

or, 2x - 12 + 5 = 20

or, 2x = 20 - 5 + 12

⇒ 2 x = 27

or, x = 27/2 = 13.5

⇒ x = 13.5

Hence, the correct explanation of the equation is sated above.
