Question

4(x-2)/5 = 20

(Yes that’s a fraction)

Solving for x

Answer 1

Explanation:

(x-2)/5 = 5

(x-2) = 25

x = 27

Answer 2

x=27

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 5.

4(x−2)

5=20

(4(x−2)*(5)*(5)=(20)*(5)

4(x−2)=100

Step 2: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−8=100

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

4x−8+8=100+8

4x=108

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=108/4

x=27
