Question 507704: solve equation and check the solution
5(x-2)-4x=2(x-6)+2

0.01(x+50)+0.03(x-20)=4.06

5x-8(x+2)=-3(x-4)

I'll do the first one to get you started

5%28x-2%29-4x=2%28x-6%29%2B2 Start with the given equation.


5x-10-4x=2x-12%2B2 Distribute.


x-10=2x-12%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side.


x-10=2x-10 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=2x-10%2B10 Add 10 to both sides.


x-2x=-10%2B10 Subtract 2x from both sides.


-x=-10%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%280%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x.


x=0 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=0
