Question

Solve the equation. Show work on scratch paper. 20=10+2(x−4)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

20 = 10 +2(x - 4)

10 + 2(x -4) = 20           {Use distributive property}

10 + 2x - 2*4 = 20

 10 + 2x - 8  = 20       {add like terms}

        2x  + 2 = 20        

              2x = 20 - 2

             2x = 18

              x = 18/2

x = 9
