Question

write a problem that can be modeled by the equation 2x+40=60 then sovle the equation and explain the solution in the context of the problem

Answer 1

2x + 40 = 60 (Subtract 40 from both sides)
     - 40   - 40
--------------------------------
2x = 20 (Divide both sides)
2x/2 = 20/2
x = 10 (This is your final answer)
