Question

Solve for x.

5(2x - 1) = 6

x = 1/10
x = 11/10
x = 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

Distributive Law : x= $\frac{11}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x - 1) = 6

Using Distributive law on right hand side we get

5*2x - 5 * 1 = 6

10x - 5 = 6

Now we add 5 on both hand sides

10x-5+5=6+5

10x= 11

Now we divide both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{11}{10}$

Hence we get

x= $\frac{11}{10}$
