Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2.5(6x - 4) = 10 + 4(1.5 + 0.5 x)?

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

Distribute the 2.5 and 4 out

15x - 10 = 10 + 6 +2x

Add the constant variables together

15x - 10 = 16 +2x

Move the x on one side and the constant on the other

13x = 26

Divide both sides to find x

x=2

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

You can simplify the equation with all the x's on one side and the numerical values on the other. After solving, the answer would be x=2
