An equation is shown below:
4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11
Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.
Can someone please explain step by step this equation? Thanks!!
I tried I don't understand...
I got the answer of x = 2
Please show your work. How did you get 2?
4(2x-5) +15 = 11
-15. -15
4(2x-5) = -4
⁴/4 -4/4
2x -5 = -1
-5 + 5 = 0 , 5+-1 = 4
2x = 4
2/2 , 4/2
X=2
LOL im doing that question rn and idk the answer im dumb :) but still full of fun....ya get itttt?! no? ok.... BYE peace out
To solve the equation 4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses. Here, we distribute the 4 and multiply it by both terms inside the parentheses:
4 * 2x = 8x
4 * -5 = -20
The equation now becomes: 8x - 20 + 15 = 11.
Step 2: Next, combine like terms. Since -20 and 15 are constants, we can add them together:
8x - 20 + 15 = 11
-20 + 15 = -5
The equation simplifies to: 8x - 5 = 11.
Step 3: Now, isolate the term with the variable, which is 8x, by moving all the constants to the other side of the equation. We will do this by subtracting both sides of the equation by -5:
8x - 5 + 5 = 11 + 5
The equation simplifies to: 8x = 16.
Step 4: Finally, to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
8x/8 = 16/8
The equation simplifies to: x = 2.
Therefore, the solution to the equation 4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11 is x = 2.
It's similar to the last one you posted.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
