Question

Help!!!!!5/4 (20x +5)=59

Answer 1

Answer: x= 2.11

Step-by-step explanation:

5/4(20x +5) = 59

Multiply (4/5) on both sides to cancel out 5/4 on the left side.

You’ll get:
20x +5= 236/5

Simplify 236/5 = 47.2

So it’s

20x + 5 = 47.2

Minus 5 on both sides

20x = 42.2

Divide 20 on both sides to get x alone.

X= 2.11

Answer 2

x= -3.89

Step-by-step explanation:

begin with distributive property. 5/4*20x=25x. 5/4*5=6.25.

the equation then turns into 25x+6.25=59. in order to get the isolate the variable, you must divide 25 and 25. since you did this on the left side of the equation, you must do it again on the right side to make it equivalent. 59 divided by 25=2.36. the equation is now x+6.25=2.36. to isolate the variable for the final time, you have to subtract 6.25 on both sides of the equation. 2.36-6.25=-3.89. x= -3.89
