Question 94384
{{{5(x-2)=2x+10}}} Start with the given equation


{{{5x-10=2x+10}}} Distribute




{{{5x-10-2x=10}}} Subtract 2x from both sides



{{{5x-2x=10+10}}}Add 10 to both sides



{{{3x=10+10}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{3x=20}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(20)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x



--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=(20)/(3)}}}
