Question

(10x - 4)=20
Question: What value of x makes the equation true

Answer 1

x = 10.4

Explanation:

1. Multiply each side by 5 to remove it as a fraction

2. it cancels out on the left leaving 10x - 4 = 100

3. Add 4 to each side canceling it out on the left and leaving 10x = 104

4. Divide each side by 10 to get x by itself

5. 10x/100 = 104/10

6. x = 10.4
