Answer:x=22 over 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
10−2(x−7)=4(x−5)
10+(−2)(x)+(−2)(−7)=(4)(x)+(4)(−5)(Distribute)
10+−2x+14=4x+−20
(−2x)+(10+14)=4x−20(Combine Like Terms)
−2x+24=4x−20
−2x+24=4x−20
Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.
−2x+24−4x=4x−20−4x
−6x+24=−20
Step 3: Subtract 24 from both sides.
−6x+24−24=−20−24
−6x=−44
Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.
−6x−6=−44−6
x=22 over 3
