solve the equation.
\[\left(\begin{matrix}20 \\ 2x-10\end{matrix}\right)+\left(\begin{matrix}1 \\ x-5\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix}11 \\2\end{matrix}\right)\]
x=7
Find the gcd(greatest common divisor) Is (2x-10)(x-5)(2) And multiply by that the whole ecuation. It will cancel the division and it will leave you with. 20(x-5)(2) +(1)(2x-10)(2)=(11)(2x-10)(x-5) SImplifying 20(2x-10)+(4x-20)=550-220 x+22 x² This would be. 40x-200+4x-20=550-220x+22x² 44x-220=550-220x+22x² Sustract both sides 44x and sum both sides 220 22x²-264x+770=0 You have a cuadratic equation, firts divide by 22 the whole equation x²-12x+35=0 Factorizing will be (x-7)(x-5)=0 So the answer will be. x=7 and x=5
thanks man for showing all the work!
