Question

4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11

Write the steps you will use to solve the equation, solve for x, and explain each step.


(I got the answer x = 2, I just need the steps)

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

1.) Distribute. 8x-20+15=11

2.) Combine like terms. 8x-5=11

3.) Add 5 to both sides to get 8x=16.

4.) Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x and get x=2.
