Answer:
34
Explanation:
1. Expand 5(x - 20):
- Use the distributive property to distribute 5 to x and -20
5x - 100
2. Expand
:
- Use the distributive property to distribute
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
