Question

What is the value of x in the equation 4(2x + 10) = 0?
-5
-7
5
7

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

First you have to distribute 4 to 2x and 10, giving us 8x + 40 = 0. Then subtract 40 from both sides, giving us 8x = -40. Now divide -40 by 8, which gives us -5.

Answer 2

Explanation:

4(2x+10)=0

8x+40=0

-40 -40

8x=-40

x=-5
