Question

if5 (2x-1)=35 then x=
-4
1/4
3
4
please explain thank you ​

Answer 1

Answer:

X=4

Simplifying

5(2x + -1) = 35

Reorder the terms:

5(-1 + 2x) = 35

(-1 * 5 + 2x * 5) = 35

(-5 + 10x) = 35

Solving

-5 + 10x = 35

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 10x = 35 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 10x = 35 + 5

10x = 35 + 5

Combine like terms: 35 + 5 = 40

10x = 40

Divide each side by '10'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 5 to open the bracket = 5 × 2x= 10 x

5×1= 5

Then you have : 10x - 5 = 35

Take 5 to the side and then you have 10 x = 35+5=40

Then divide both sides by 10 = 10×/10 = 40/10 and your result will leave x = 4 which is your answer.
