Question

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation. 2x−5​(x−2​)=−7+2x−13 The solution of the equation is

Answer 1

Answer: x = 6

Explanation:

Distribute

2x-5x+10 = -7 + 2x - 13

-3x+10 = -7 - 13

isolate the x variable

-5x =-17-13

simplify

-5x = -30

multiply both sides by negative 1

5x = 30

divide both sides by 5

x=6

so x = 6
