Question

What is the value of x?

6(x-4)=10

Answer 1

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{x=(17)/(3)=5.6 }}`

Explanation:

Use a distributive property.

Distributive property:

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{A(B+C)=AB+AC}`

⇒ 6(x-4)=10

First, divide by 6 from both sides.

⇒ 6(x-4)/6=10/6

Solve.

⇒ x-4=5/3

Add by 4 from both sides.

⇒ x-4+4=5/3+4

Solve.

5/3+4

4*3/3+5/3

4*3+5/3

4*3=12

12+5=17

x=17/3

Dividing is another option.

17/3=5.6

x=17/3=5.6

• Therefore, the final answer is x=17=5.6.
