Solve for x. 2/5(10x+15)=26 (1 point)

Question

x = 5
x = 12
x = 7
x = 3

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can start by distributing 2/5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

2/5 * 10x + 2/5 * 15 = 26

This simplifies to:

4x + 6 = 26

Next, we can subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

4x = 20

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4:

x = 5

Therefore, the value of x is 5.
