Question

Plz show work
2(x+5)=26

Answer 1

First we have to Distribute 2(x + 5)= 26
When Distributed: 2*x= 2x + 2*5=10
No we lets bring it down 2x+10=26
Now subtract the 10-10 and you get 0.
Subtract 26-10= 16
Now bring the equation down 2x=16
Then we divide both sides by 2 and that would give us 8 as the answer :)

Answer 2

x = 8

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2(x + 5) = 26

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 2: 2x + 10 = 26

Subtract 10 on both sides: 2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2: x = 8
