Question

Solve for x, 5(x - 5) = 4x + 2*
Your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for the variable, x, let us first expand the left side to get rid of the parenthesis:

$5*x-5*5 =4x+2\\5x-25=4x+2$

Now, let us get all the variables of x on one side, and all the numerical values on the other in order to isolate the variable, x.

$5x-4x=2+25\\x=27$
