SUBM​

Answer 1

2(5x+8)=6x+20= 1 so the answer you are looking for is one

Answer 2

x=1

Explanation:

2(5x + 8) = 6x + 20

Divide each side by 2

2/2(5x + 8) = 6x/2 + 20/2

5x+8 = 3x+10

Subtract 3x from each side

5x-3x +8 = 3x-3x+10

2x+8 = 10

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8=10-8

2x=2

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 2/2

x=1
