solve for X

4(x-5)+x=10

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 4(x - 5) + x = 10 \), follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the \( 4 \): \[ 4x - 20 + x = 10 \]

  2. Combine like terms: \[ 5x - 20 = 10 \]

  3. Add \( 20 \) to both sides: \[ 5x = 30 \]

  4. Divide by \( 5 \): \[ x = 6 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 6 \).
