Question

Solve the equation and enter the value of x below. -4(x - 5) = 60​

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

-4(x - 5 ) = 60

Solve for x.

-4(x - 5 ) = 60

Step 1 :- Distribute -4.

-4 × x - 4 × -5 = 60

-4x + 20 = 60

Step 2 :- Move constant to the right-hand side and change their sign.

-4x = 60 - 20

Step 3 :- Subtract 20 from 60.

-4x = 40

Step 4 :- Divide both side by -4.

`( - 4x)/( - 4) = (40)/( - 4) \\`

Hence , x = 10

Answer 2

The value of x is 10.

Explanation:

By question,

-4(x - 5) = 60

or,-4x + 20 = 60

or,-4x = 60 -20

or, -4x = 40

or, x =40/-4

Hence,x=10
