What is the solution to the equation 2(5x+8)=6x+20

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation 2(5x + 8) = 6x + 20 and are asked to find the solution, to do so, we need to isolate x.

First off, we need to get rid of the parenthesis, so distribute the 2 to the 5x and 8 :

2(5x + 8)

(5x(2) + 8(2))

10x + 16

10x + 16 = 6x + 20

Now we can't have x on both sides, so subtract 6x to both sides :

4x + 16 = 20

Now we need to isolate the number with x, subtract 16 from both sides :

4x = 4

Now to extract the coefficient from the variable, divide both sides by 4 :

x = 1

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2(5x+8)=6x+20

10 + 16 = 6 + 20

10 + 16 − 16 = 6 + 20 − 16

10 = 6 + 4

4x = 4

x = 1

hope this helps!! p.s. i really need brainliest :)
