Question

10(x-5)=80I understand what im doing but I am stuck

Answer 1

`10(x-5)=80`

Expand the left hand side using distributive property:

`10x-50=80`

Add 50 to both sides:

`\begin{gathered} 10x-50+50=80+50 \\ 10x=130 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 10:

`\begin{gathered} x=(130)/(10) \\ x=13 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

x = 13
