16 (3x - 5) - 10 (4x - 8 ) = 40
Find x


vedantranade: Reorder the terms:
-80 + 48x + -10(-8 + 4x) = 40
-80 + 48x + (-8 * -10 + 4x * -10) = 40
-80 + 48x + (80 + -40x) = 40

Reorder the terms:
-80 + 80 + 48x + -40x = 40

Combine like terms: -80 + 80 = 0
0 + 48x + -40x = 40
48x + -40x = 40

Combine like terms: 48x + -40x = 8x
8x = 40

Solving
8x = 40

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
x = 5

Simplifying
x = 5
