Question

What’s the answer to 5(2x + 1) = 50 ?

Answer 1

X = 4.5 because 5 * 2x = 10x and 5 * 1 = 5 now you have 10x + 5 = 50 now. Inverse now you have 10x = 50 - 5, now 10x = 45 now divided 45 by 10 you will get x = 4.5

Answer 2

x = 4.5

Explanation:

5(2x + 1) = 50 Distribute the 5

5(2x) + (5) (1) = 50

10x +5 = 50 Subtract 5 from both sides

10x = 45 Divide both sdies by 10

x = 4.5
