Question

Can anyone help me solve this it is a linear equation I had to Create a linear equation in two variables in the form y = mx + b to graph using the slope intercept form and now I have to solve it and I am not sure how to do it?PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS ---->2(2x +5) -2(x-10)=40

Answer 1

multiply out and it comes to 4x+10-2x+20=40

can you atleast solve from here?

Answer 2

first multiply out, then combine like terms
\[2(2x+5)-2(x-10)=40\]
\[4x+10-2x+20=40\]
\[2x+30=40\]
\[2x=10\]
\[x=5\] this is not a line, it is a number

Answer 3

so 2x =10

x = 5

yea this is a number, not a line
