Answer 3

Lets solve:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
10(x+2)=5(x+8)
Simplify: (Hide steps)
(10)(x)+(10)(2)=(5)(x)+(5)(8)(Distribute)
10x+20=5x+40
Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.
10x+20−5x=5x+40−5x
5x+20=40
Step 3: Subtract 20 from both sides.
5x+20−20=40−20
5x=20
Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.
\[\frac{5x }{ 5 }=\frac{ 20 }{ 5 }\]
Answer:
x=4
