To solve for x, we'll first simplify the left side of the equation.
2/5(10x+15) = 26
To simplify the expression 2/5(10x+15), we'll apply the distributive property:
(2/5)(10x) + (2/5)(15) = 26
2(2x) + 2(3) = 26
4x + 6 = 26
Now, let's isolate the variable x by subtracting 6 from both sides:
4x + 6 - 6 = 26 - 6
4x = 20
Finally, divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
4x/4 = 20/4
x = 5
The solution to the equation is x = 5.
Solve for x.
2 over 5(10x+15)=26
