Answer 2

x = 7/5 equivalent to 1 2/5

Explanation:

Given equation:

2(5x - 3) = 8

Step 1: Distributive property.

10x - 6 = 8

Step 2: Addition property of equality

10x - 6 = 8

Add 6 to both sides

10x = 14

Step 3: Division property of equality

Divide both sides by 10 to solve for x

10x = 14

x = 14/10

= 7/5

x = 7/5
