Question

4x - 2(x - 5) = - 7 + 5x + 8 type the value of x

Answer 1

The value of 'x' = 3

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that

4x - 2(x - 5) = - 7 + 5x + 8

4x - 2(x) +10 = - 7 + 5x + 8

2 x + 10 = 1 + 5 x

Subtracting '2x' on both sides , we get

2 x - 2 x + 10 = 1 + 5 x - 2 x

10 = 1 + 3 x

10 -1 = 3x

9 = 3 x

Dividing '3' on both sides, we get

`(9)/(3) = (3x)/(3)`

3 = x

∴ The value of 'x' = 3
