Question

Solve for x if 2(x - 2) = 26

A) x=25
B) x=8
C) x=15
D) c=30

Answer 1

The answer is C x=15

Explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−2)=26

(2)(x)+(2)(−2)=26(Distribute)

2x+−4=26

2x−4=26

Add 4 to both sides.

2x−4+4=26+4

2x=30

Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2 = 30/ 2

x=15

Answer:

x= 15

Answer 2

C) is correct x=15
2x-4=26
2x=30
X=15
