solve
10(x+5)=130
10x + 50 = 130
Can you take it from there?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
x=60?
No.
You need to subtract 50 from both sides of the equation.
Now what do you get?
x=80
10(x+5)=130
x+5=130/10
x+5=13
x=13-5
x=8
Thanks Colin.
To solve the equation 10(x + 5) = 130, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Distribute the 10 to the terms inside the parentheses.
10 * x + 10 * 5 = 130
Step 2: Simplify the equation.
10x + 50 = 130
Step 3: Move the constant term to the other side of the equation.
10x = 130 - 50
Step 4: Simplify the right side.
10x = 80
Step 5: Divide both sides of the equation by 10 to isolate the variable.
(10x) / 10 = 80 / 10
Step 6: Simplify.
x = 8
The solution to the equation is x = 8.
