Question
Solve the equation
x=43
Alternative Form
x=0.75
Evaluate
10x−2(4x−3)=x×10
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
10x−2(4x−3)=10x
Cancel equal terms on both sides of the expression
−2(4x−3)=0
Change the sign
2(4x−3)=0
Rewrite the expression
4x−3=0
Move the constant to the right side
4x=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=3
Divide both sides
44x=43
Solution
x=43
Alternative Form
x=0.75
