Reduce your answer to simplest form.​

Answer 1

The value of x is 10/13.

Explanation:

First step, you have to expand the brackets and collect like-terms :

`5(2 - 2x) = 3x`

`10 - 10x = 3x`

`10 = 3x + 10x`

`10 = 13x`

Second step, you have to divide it by 13 :

`13x = 10`

`(13x)/(13) = (10)/(13)`

`x = (10)/(13)`

Answer 2

10-10x=3x

10=13x

13x=10

x=10/13
