Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation given is 5(x10)3(x10)=45( x-10)-3( x-10)=4 . We are solving for the variable xx

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the 55 and - to the terms inside the parentheses.
5(2x10)(2x10)=45(2x -10) -(2x -10) =4

STEP 3

Perform the distribution.
10x506x+30=10x -50 -6x +30 =

STEP 4

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
4x20=44x -20 =4

STEP 5

To isolate the variable xx, we need to get rid of the 20-20 on the left side. We can do this by adding 2020 to both sides of the equation.
4x20+20=4+204x -20 +20 =4 +20

STEP 6

implify both sides of the equation.
4x=244x =24

STEP 7

Finally, to solve for xx, we divide both sides of the equation by 44.
x=24/4x =24 /4

STEP 8

Calculate the value of xx.
x=6x =6So, the solution to the equation is x=6x =6.
