Answer: x = 2

Explanation:

-Solve:


4(2x-5)+15=11

-Use the Distributive Property:


8x -20+15=11

-Add the 5 from both sides:


8x-5=11


8x=16

-Divide both sides by 8:


(8x)/(8) =(16)/(8)

-Result:


x=2

Answer: x=2

Explanation:

4(2x-5)+15=11

Firstly we apply BODMAS

we open the bracket first

8x-20+15=11

8x-5=11

Collect the like terms

8x=11+5

8x=16

Divide both sides by 8

X= 16/8

X=2
