Solve for x. 20(2x−8)=440 (1 point) Responses x = 5 x = 5 x = 9 x = 9 x = 2 x = 2 x = 15

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:

20(2x - 8) = 440

Distribute the 20 on the left side of the equation:

40x - 160 = 440

Add 160 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

40x = 600

Divide both sides of the equation by 40 to solve for x:

x = 15

Therefore, the correct response is x = 15.
