Question

How do you solve the equation 2(4x-11)=10

Answer 1

2(4x-11) = 10
8x - 22 = 10 Distribute.
8x = 32 Add 22 to each side.
x = 4 Divide each side by 8.

Answer: x = 4

Answer 2

2(4x-11)=10
a. Distribute 2
2(4x-11)=10 >> 8x-22=10
b. Get the unknown variable by itself (add 22 on both sides)
8x-22=10 >> 8x=32
+22 +22
c. Get the variable to equal to 1 or x (Divide 8 on both sides)
8x=32 >> x =4

8x/8 (so it can equal to 1x) = 32/8

tip: x = 1x

Answer: x = 4
