Question

Help solve for x? 2/5x+2=10, second problem is 1/3(2x-8)=4

Answer 1

for the first problem you first subtract 2 from 10 and then you divide 2/5 which makes it 5/2 times 8

Answer 2

for the second you need to multiply everything in the paranthesis by 3 which would be (spoiler) 6x + 24 = 4

Answer 3

then you would subtract 24 and then divide the answer by 6
