Answer:
x = 17/32
Explanation:
Firstly, you want to simplify by combining like terms:
4x(3+5)—10 = 4 · 3 + 5 – 10
32x—10 = 7
Add ten to both sides:
32x - 10 = 7
+10 +10
32x = 17
Divide both sides by 32:
32x = 17
/32 /32
32 divided by 32x makes x
so we get x = 17/32
(we dont divide 17/32 since we would get an irrational number (0.53125))
