Answer 1

To solve 5(2x+4) =15

We need to remove 5 first

5 is multiplied with 2x+4

To remove 5 we do opposite operation

First divide each side by 5

$\frac{5(2x+4)}{5} =\frac{15}{5}$

2x + 4 = 3

Now subtract each side by 4

2x = -1

Now divide by 2 from both sides

$x = -\frac{1}{2}$

so the value of x is $-\frac{1}{2}$
