OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x+2(x-5)=10 what is x

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

do you know how to multiply?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x+2x-10-10=0 5x-20=0 x=4

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

3x + 2(x - 5) = 10 --- distribute through the parenthesis 3x + 2x - 10 = 10 --- add 10 to both sides 3x + 2x = 10 + 10 --- combine like terms 5x = 20 -- divide both sides by 5 x = 4 any questions ?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

try multiplying 2(x-5) utilizing distributive property 2*x - 2*5
