Question

Solve: 4 (x + 2.5) = 48

Answer 1

4(x + 2.5) = 48.

4x + 4 x 2.5 = 48.

4x + 10 = 48.

4x + 10 -10 = 48 -10

4x = 38

Divide both sides by 4.

X = 9.5.

X = 10 if approximated.

Answer 2

Answer:x=19/2

Explanation:

4(x+2.5)=48

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x+2.5)=48

(4)(x)+(4)(2.5)=48(Distribute)

4x+10=48

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x+10−10=48−10

4x=38

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4. 4x/4 = 38/4 = 19/2
