Question

Which one is the answer for these qution 4x=5(9x+2)
A)5/2
B)41/10
C)-10/41
D)10/41

Answer 1

C. -10/41

First use the distributive property to get 4x = 45x + 10
Use subtraction on both sides by 10
Again use subtraction of 4x on both sides
You now have -10 = 41x
Use division to get x alone and you now have -10/41 = x
