To solve the equation 10(x + 2) = 5(x + 8), we can start by distributing the 10 and 5 on each side of the equation:
10(x) + 10(2) = 5(x) + 5(8)
10x + 20 = 5x + 40
Next, we can combine like terms on each side of the equation:
10x - 5x = 40 - 20
5x = 20
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5:
5x/5 = 20/5
x = 4
Therefore, the value of x is 4. The correct answer is C) x = 4.
What is the value of x, when 10(x + 2) = 5(x + 8)?
