Question

4(x+5)-10-=54
I need helpp

Answer 1

x=11

Explanation:

Using PEMDAS, you start by distributing the 4 among (x+5)

4*x=4x, 4*5=20

so you are left with 4x+20-10=54

simplify like terms (20-10=10)

this leaves you will 4x+10=54

Now you need to solve for x by moving everything else to the other side of the equal sign

to get rid of +10 on the left side, you must subtract 10 on both sides

4x=44

Now to get rid of the four, divide both sides by 4

x=11

Answer 2

4(x+5)-10 = 54

4x + 20 - 10 = 54

4x + 10 = 54

4x = 54 - 10

4x = 44

x = 44/4

x = 11
