QuestionSolve the equation 4(4x5)=5(x+6)+34(4x-5)=5(x+6)+3 and express your answer as an integer, fraction, or decimal (2 decimal places).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation to solve is 4(4x5)=5(x+6)+34(4x-5)=5(x+6)+3 . We are solving for the variable xx
3. We will use standard algebraic operations to solve the equation

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the4 on the left side of the equation and the5 on the right side of the equation.
4(4x5)=5(x+6)+16x20=5x+30+4(4x-5)=5(x+6)+ \Rightarrow16x -20 =5x +30 +

STEP 3

implify the right side of the equation.
16x20=5x+3316x -20 =5x +33

STEP 4

Now, we need to isolate the variable xx. We can do this by subtracting xx from both sides of the equation.
16xx=33+2016x -x =33 +20

STEP 5

implify both sides of the equation.
11x=5311x =53

STEP 6

Finally, to solve for xx, divide both sides of the equation by11.
x=5311x = \frac{53}{11}So, the solution to the equation 4(4x5)=5(x+6)+34(4x-5)=5(x+6)+3 is x=5311x = \frac{53}{11}.
