Question

4c) Solve each equation.

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 2(x + 5) - 4 = 16

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

Then the value of x will be,

→ 2(x + 5) - 4 = 16

Applying Distributive property:

→ 2(x) + 2(5) - 4 = 16

→ 2x + 10 - 4 = 16

→ 2x + 6 = 16

Subtracting the RHS with 6:

→ 2x = 16 - 6

→ 2x = 10

Dividing RHS with number 2:

→ x = 10/2

→ [ x = 5 ]

Hence, the value of x is 5.
