Question

2(5x-25)=10(x-5)
Okay.. so solving this, i got 5 as my answer.. but! My homework is multiple choice and 5 isn't an option.. so I'm not sure if i did it right? My answer choices are,
A. 1
B. 0
C. no solution
D. All real numbers

Answer 1

you're solving for x, right?

Answer 2

yes. :p

Answer 3

2(5x-25) = 10x-50
10(x-5) = 10x-50

they are the same, so do you know the answer?

Answer 4

useless hint: (it'a not 0 :P)

Answer 5

the question is, how did you get 5?

Answer 6

*well, it kind of isn't 0 (I should say)

Answer 7

I honestly have no idea.. I would have to go back through the way I did it again.. lol So now we're with no solution or 1, it's obviously not all real numbers.. or kind of isn't 0. lol
So would it be.. no solution?

Answer 8

If it was no solution, you would end up with something like this:

10x = 9x, so we know it's not that

Answer 9

Oh my goodness, these are so confusing to me! lol /:

Answer 10

If the answer was x=1, then x=2 or x=3 would not be true. Is it? (If you let x=2 or 3, are both sides the same?

Answer 11

10x = 9x we have solution for this one
subtract 9x both side x = 0
??

Answer 12

sorry, there is something wrong with my browser

Answer 13

seem like you are struggling with distribution kinda thingy
so just plug so first of all check 1 by plugging back into the equation where x is

Answer 14

*and yes, that was my mistake, I ment it to be something like 2=3

Answer 15

anyways, if you let x=0, 1, 2, or 100...are both sides the same?

Answer 16

now solve let me know if both side are equal or not ???
