Answer:

34

Explanation:

1. Expand 5(x - 20):

  • Use the distributive property to distribute 5 to x and -20

5x - 100

2. Expand
(1)/(2) (4x + 4):

  • Use the distributive property to distribute
    (1)/(2) to 4x and 4

2x + 2

3. Add 100 to both sides:

5x - 100 = 2x + 2

5x - 100+100 = 2x + 2+100

5x = 2x + 102

4. Subtract 2x from both sides:

3x = 102

5. Divide both sides by 3:

x = 34

hope this helps!
