Question

Explain how to do this problem in steps and include answers as well

Answer 1

`8(4x-5)-12=20x-10\\ 32x-40-12=20x-10\\ 12x=42\\ x=(42)/(12)=(7)/(2)`

Answer 2

`8(4x - 5)-12=20x-10`


`32x - 40-12=20x-10`


`32x -52=20x-10`


`32x -52 -20x=-10`


`12x -52=-10`


`12x =-10 +52`


`12x =42`


`x= (42)/(12)`


`x = (7)/(2)`


`x=3 (1)/(2)` ≈ 3.5
