7%2F%282x-4%29=10
7=10%282x-4%29 Multiply both sides by (2x-4)
7=20x-40%29Distribute the 10.
47=20x%29Add 40 to both sides.
x=47%2F20%29Divide both sides by 20.
Check your answer.
7%2F%282x-4%29=10
7%2F%282%2847%2F20%29-4%29=10
7%2F%2894%2F20-4%29=10
7%2F%2894%2F20-80%2F20%29=10Change 4 to 80/20 to subtract.
7%2F%28%2814%2F20%29%29=10Subtract.
7%2A%2820%2F14%29=10Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction.
140%2F14=10
10=10
True statement.
Good answer.
