Question

Can 4(x+2)=10 equal 0

Answer 1

x = 0.5

Explanation:

The given expression is :

4(x+2) = 10

Using commutative property at LHS.

4x+8 = 10

Subtract 8 from both sides.

4x+8-8 = 10-8

4x = 2

x = (1/2) = 0.5

So, the value of x is equal to 0.5 instead of 0. Hence, the given expression cannot be equal to 0.
