Question

If $3x + 8 = 5x - 6$, then what is the value of $10x$?

Answer 1

In context to questions asked,

We have to determine the value of 10x

As per questions,

It is given that,

3x + 8 = 5x - 6

So, for determining the value of X we will separate the like terms on one side.

So, we will shift terms containing x on one side and other constant on other side.

Thus we will get,

$5x - 3x = 8 + 6 \\ = > 2x = 14 \\ = > x = \frac{14}{2} \\ = > x = 7 \\ = > 10x = 10 \times 7 = 70$

Hence, value of 10x will be 70
