Answer:
X=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(x−5)=10
(2)(x)+(2)(−5)=10(Distribute)
2x+−10=10
2x−10=10
Step 2: Add 10 to both sides.
2x−10+10=10+10
2x=20
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2=20/2
x=10
You distribute the 2 to what's inside the parentheses.
so 2(x-5)=10 becomes
2x - 10=10 now you add 10 to both sides to get 2x by itself
+10 +10
2x=20 Now you divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
Check: 2(10-5) =10
20-10=10
10=10 ✔
Hope this helps :)
