Solve for x

20(2x - 8) = 440

X = 5
X = 9
X = two
X = 15

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's solve the equation step by step:

20(2x - 8) = 440

First, distribute 20 to the terms inside the parentheses:

40x - 160 = 440

Now, let's isolate the variable term by adding 160 to both sides of the equation:

40x = 440 + 160
40x = 600

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 40:

x = 600/40
x = 15

Therefore, the solution is x = 15.
