Question

What is the value of x in 2(5x) = 14?

Answer 1

Divide both sides by 2, which equals 7, then to get x alone, divide by 5 which gives you 1.4.

Answer 2

2(5x) = 14

Simplify the equation by multiplying 2 with 5x.

10x = 14

Divide both sides by 10.

x = 14/10

Simplify the fraction, by turning it into a mixed number.

x = 1 4/10

Simplify the equation by dividing it by 2, so that it is in simplest form.

x = 1 2/5
