+434 An equation is shown below:
4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11
Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.
+36915 You have posted a lot of very similar questions....you SHOULD be understanding how to get the answer......YOU try it and see what you get,,,,then, if you need more help , re-post on this thread..... OK? You CAN do it! Try it.....
After distributive property.....collect 'like' terms...... then.....
+434 I know I'm pretty sorry to for bugging evry one with these I so badly want to master these it's just each questions reveals a new forum of a problem that the lesson didnent really depth into but I will try my self at it and I'll just post it here.
+219 4(2x -5) + 15 =11
Subtract 15 on both sides
4(2x- 5) = - 4
Divide 4 on both sides
2x - 5 = -1
Add 5 on both sides
2x = 4
Divide both sides by 2
X = 2
Hope this helps ;P
+434 I enede up getting 3.875 as the x but I'm not sure if this is right becasue when I check the soloution I ened up with 26
What I did was apply the distrubitive property normally
then added twenty to eleven divided it by 8 so I beilieve when it comes around here I hit my problem I don't think I'm doing something rght after the disributive properety?
4(2x-5) + 15 = 11
8x - 20 + 15 = 11
8x - 5 = 11
8x = 11 + 5
8x = 16
x = 16/8
x = 2
Doubke checking my work:
4(4-5) + 15 = 11
4(-1) + 15 = 11
-4 + 15 = 11
11 = 11
Therefore, x = 2.
+219 Yes he added 15 to -20 to get -5. There are different ways to do this problems the Guests way or my way or another way.
+434 I would like to thaank all who helped me here the help is very much appriciated thanks so much : )
