Question

12(4x−5)+5/2=10 solve for x pls help!!!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

`12(4x - 5) + (5)/(2)=10`

Multiply the whole equation by 2

`2*12(4x -5) + (5)/(2)*2=10*2\\\\24(4x-5) + 2 = 20\\`

24*4x - 5*24 + 2 = 20

96x - 120 + 2 = 20

96x - 118 = 20

Add 118 to both sides

96x = 20 +118

96x = 138

Divide both sides by 96

x = 138/96 = 23/16

`x = 1 (7)/(16)`
