1 answer

To solve for x, we will follow the steps below:

1. Distribute 20 to each term inside the parentheses:
40x - 160 = 440

2. Add 160 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
40x = 600

3. Divide both sides of the equation by 40 to solve for x:
40x/40 = 600/40
x = 15

Therefore, the solution for x is 15.
