Solve for \( x \):

\[ 5(2x - 3) = 155 \]

Asked by snooky

Answer (3)

5(2x-3)=155 10x-15=155(solve/multiply 5 by the numbers/variables in the parentheses first) 10x=170(add 15 to each side) Divide 170 by 10x 170÷10x=17 x=17

5(2x - 3) = 155 10x - 15 = 155 10x = 155 + 15 10x = 170 x = 170/10 x = 17

To solve the equation 5 ( 2 x − 3 ) = 155 , we distribute to get 10 x − 15 = 155 . We then isolate x and find that x = 17 .
