Question

4(2x – 5) = 4

How many solutions does this equation have?

Answer 1

One solution

Distribute the (4) into the parentheses

(4 x 2x) - (4 x -5) = 4

8x - 20 = 4

Then do the opposite of (-20) and add it to both sides

8x - 20 + 20 = 4 + 20

The (-20 + 20) cancels out and your left with

8x = 24

Then do the opposite of (8x) and divide it on both sides

8x/8 = 24/8

Then simplify and you get

X = 3
