4 (x-5) + x = 10

Answer 1

Expanding the expression on the left side, we have:

4x - 20 + x = 10

Combining like terms, we get:

5x - 20 = 10

To isolate the variable, we can add 20 to both sides:

5x - 20 + 20 = 10 + 20
5x = 30

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 5:

5x / 5 = 30 / 5
x = 6

So the solution to the equation 4(x-5) + x = 10 is x = 6.
