Question

45(2x+5)−4=1



Pls help I need it pls pls pls

Answer 1

x =
`(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

`(4)/(5)` (2x + 5) - 4 = 1 ( add 4 to both sides )

`(4)/(5)` (2x + 5) = 5 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

4(2x + 5) = 25 ← distribute left side

8x + 20 = 25 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

8x = 5 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x =
`(5)/(8)`

Answer 2

x = 5/8 or x = 0.625

Explanation:

4/5(2x + 5) – 4 = 1

4/5(2x + 5) = 5

4(2x + 5) = 25

2x + 5 = 25/4

2x + 5 = 25/4

2x = 5/4

x = 5/8

I hope this helps
