Question

5(2-4x)-2(1+x)=52,then x=​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember. - × - = +

and + × - = -

10-20x-2-2x is 52

8-22x=52

22x=52-8

22x=44

x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

5(2-4x)-2(1+x)=52

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

10-20x-2-2x=52

8-22x=52

-22x=52-8

-22x=44

x=44/-22(negative sign or - never exsists in denominator)

so, we multiply -1 in both the numerator and denominator.

then , x= 44×-1/-22×-1

-44/22

-2
