Question

Solve for x.
5(x - 10) = 30 – 15x
O x= 1
O x = 4
O x = 5
O x = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

$5(x - 10) = 30 - 15x$

$5x - 50 = 30 - 15x$

$5x + 15x = 30 + 50$

$20x = 80$

$x = \frac{80}{20}$

$x = 4$

Answer 2

Answer:

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute  

5(x−10)=30−15x

5 − 5 0 = 3 0 − 1 5

Rearrange terms

5x−50=30−15x

5 − 5 0 = − 1 5 + 3 0

Add  5 0  to both sides of the equation

5x-50+50=-15x+30+50

Add  1 5  to both sides of the equation

5 + 1 5 = − 1 5 + 8 0 + 1 5 \

2 0 /2 0 = 8 0/ 2 0

= 4
