Question

Can you solve these ?
2(3x+5)=40
6-X-X=18

Answer 1

Distribute the 2.

Answer 2

Distribute the 2, to the 3x and the 5.

Answer 3

The first one is
x=5, because...
Simplifying
2(3x + 5) = 40

Reorder the terms:
2(5 + 3x) = 40
(5 * 2 + 3x * 2) = 40
(10 + 6x) = 40

Solving
10 + 6x = 40

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 6x = 40 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 6x = 40 + -10
6x = 40 + -10
Combine like terms: 40 + -10 = 30
6x = 30

Divide each side by '6'.
x = 5

Simplifying
x = 5
