Question

2(5x - 3) - 4 = x + 4 solve for x and show work

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 14/9 = 1 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 5x−3.

2(5x−3)−4=x+4

Subtract 4 from −6 to get −10.

10x−6−4=x+4

Subtract x from both sides

10x−10=x+4

Combine 10x and −x to get 9x.

10x−10−x=4

Add 10 to both sides.

9x−10=4

Divide both sides by 9.

x=  14/9

Answer 2

1. distribute --> 10x-6-4=x+4
2. do -6-4 --> 10x-10=x+4
3. add 10 on both sides --> 10x=x+4+10
4. subtract x on both sides and simplify equation --> 9x=14
5. divide both sides by 9 --> x=14/9
