Question

2/5 (x − 4) = 2x for x

Answer 1

i got 1/9 but its not one of my choices

Answer 2

multiply both sides by 5

2(x -4) = 10x

expand the brackets

2x - 8 = 10x

subtract 2x from both sides

-8 = 8x

divide both sides by 8

x = -1

Answer 3

cross multiplie
2(x-4)=10x
2x-8=10x
-8=8x
x=-1

Answer 4

Thanks i totally did that wrong i turned everything into a fraction :(

Answer 5

\[2(x-4)/5 = 2x\]\[2x-8=10x\]\[-8x=-8\]\[x=-1\]
