Question

10 ( 2 + x ) = 15 ( x - 1 ) + 5 what is x

Answer 1

Answer: The result is x = 6.

Explanation:

-Solve:

`10(2+x)=15 (x-1)+5`

-First, use the Distributive Property:

`20+ 10x=15x-15+5`

-Combine 5 with -15:

`20 + 10x = 15x - 10`

-Subtract 15x from 10x:

`20 + 10x -15x= 15x - 15x -10`

`20 -5x= -10`

-Subtract 20 both sides:

`20 - 5x = -10 -20`

`-5x=-30`

-Then, you divide both sides by -5:

`(-5x)/(-5) = (-30)/(-5)`

`x = 6`

So, the solution for x is 6.
