Question

23 - 2x = 10 ??!! HELP PLSS

Answer 1

x = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf 23 - 2x = 10`

subtract 23 from both sides

`\rightarrow \sf 23-2x-23=10-23`

simplify the following

`\rightarrow \sf -2x=-13`

divide both sides by -2

`\rightarrow \sf (-2x)/(-2)=(-13)/(-2)`

simplify

`\rightarrow \sf x=(13)/(2)`

in decimals

`\sf \rightarrow x = 6.5`

Recheck the following

`\hookrightarrow \mathrm{23 - 2(6.5) = 10}`

`\hookrightarrow \mathrm{23 -13 = 10}`

`\hookrightarrow \mathrm{10 = 10}`

L.H.S = R.H.S thus. x = 6.5
