Question

5x + 2(11-1) = 30
Solve the equation/Explain each step

Answer 1

2.

Explanation:

5x + 2(11-1) = 30

First, solve the ones inside the bracket:

11 - 1 = 10

Next, multiply the number inside the bracket by the number next to bracket:

2 × 10 = 20

The equation will now be:

5x + 20 = 30

Since 5x and 20 are not like terms, carry +20 over to the other side making it 30 - 20:

5x = 30 - 20

5x = 10

Now, divide both sides by the coefficient of x (5):

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2

The answer to the equation is 2.

Answer 2

x=2
