5(x - 4) = 6 what does x equal

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5(x - 4) = 6 \), follow these steps:

Distribute the 5 on the left side: \[ 5x - 20 = 6 \]
Add 20 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 5x = 26 \]
Divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{26}{5} \]

Thus, \( x \) equals \( \frac{26}{5} \) or 5.2.
