Question

Alive the equation :
16(3x-5)-10(4x-8)=40

Answer 1

Given,

The given main equation is = 16(3x-5)-10(4x-8) = 40

To find,

The numerical value of x.

Solution,

We have to simplify the given equation by doing the corresponding addition, subtraction etc, in the algebraic method. By the continuous simplification we will finally get the numerical value of x.

Simplification :

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

48x - 80 - 40x + 80 = 40

8x = 40

x = 5

(Final numerical value of the x is 5 and it cannot be further simplified.)

Hence, the value of x in the given equation is 5.
