Question

To solve 5(2x + 4) = 15, first divide each side by

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

In order to solve 5(2x + 4) = 15, first divide each side by 5

`5(2x + 4) = 15 \\ \\ (5(2x + 4))/(5) = (15)/(5) \\ 2x + 4 = 3 \\ 2x = 3 - 4 \\ 2x = - 1 \\ x = - (1)/(2)`

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

First divide each side by 5

so you'll get

2x+4=3

2x=-1

x=-1/2
