Question

4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11 Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.

Answer 1

First, multiply 4*2x-4*-5= 8x-20.
Second, add 15 to 8x-20
Third, that would equal 8x-20+15=11
Fourth, 15+-20= -5
Fifth, 8x-5=11
Sixth, add +5 to -5 and +5 to 11= 8x=16
Last, do 8x/8x and 16/8x
The answer is x=2

Answer 2

8x-20+15=11
8x+15=11+20
8x+15=31
8x=31-15
8x=16
X=2

First, add 20 to both sides
Simplify
Subtract 15 from both sides
Simplify
Divide 8 from both sides
