Question

8x + 5 (2x+3) = 195 find x​

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

We are given the following equation:

`8x + 5(2x+3) = 195`,

and told to find
`x`.

In order to calculate the value of
`x`, we have to rearrange the equation to make
`x` the subject:

`8x + 5(2x+3) = 195`

⇒
`8x + (5 * 2x) + (5 * 3) = 195` [Distributing 5 into the brackets]

⇒
`8x + 10x + 15 = 195`

⇒
`18x + 15 = 195`

⇒
`18x + 15 - 15 = 195 - 15` [Subtracting 15 from both sides of equation]

⇒
`18x = 180`

⇒
`(18)/(18)x = (180)/(18)` [Dividing both sides of equation by 18]

⇒
`x = \bf 10`

Therefore, the value of x is 10.
