What does x equal?
Please show steps

Answer 1

$\frac{2(x+2^{2})}{4}$Answer: X = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(2(x - 1) + 10) = x

For this equation Just remember pemdos. So you start in the parenthesis using the distribute property.

1/4((2x - 2) + 10) = x

Now you would add common like terms

(1/4 (2x + 8) = x

Now you are close and must divide the whole thing

$\frac{2x+8}{4}$ = x

Now we deal with primes Yay

$\frac{2x+2^{3} }{4}$ = x

Now we need to factor GCF

$\frac{2(\frac{2x}{2} + \frac{2^{3} }{2}) }{4}$ = x

now we reduce fraction

$\frac{2(x+2^{3-1})}{4}$ = x

now follow pemdos

$\frac{2(x+2^{2})}{4}$ = x

$\frac{2(x+4)}{4}$ = x

$\frac{x + 4}{2}$

x + 4 = 2x

now minus x from both sides

4 = x
