Question

2.5(x=8)=35x-4 can someone plz help me with this i am struggling

Answer 1

x = 22/15

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• 
  `(5)(x)+(5)(8) = 35x - 4`
• 
  `5x + 40= 35x - 4`

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

• 
  `5x + 40 - 5x = 35x - 4 - 5x`
• 
  `40 = 30x - 4`
• 
  `30x - 4 = 40`

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

• 
  `30x - 4 + 4 = 40 + 4`
• 
  `30x = 44`

Step 4: Divide both sides by 30.

• 
  `(30x)/(30) = (44)/(30)`
• 
  `x = (22)/(15)`

Therefore, the answer is 22/15.
