Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The expression to evaluate is 144x10 14 - \frac{4x}{10} .
2. The value of x x is given as 5 5 .

STEP 2

1. Substitute the value of x x into the expression.
2. Simplify the expression.
3. Perform the arithmetic operations to find the result.

STEP 3

Substitute x=5 x = 5 into the expression 144x10 14 - \frac{4x}{10} .
144×510 14 - \frac{4 \times 5}{10}

STEP 4

Calculate the multiplication in the numerator.
4×5=20 4 \times 5 = 20

STEP 5

Substitute the result back into the expression.
142010 14 - \frac{20}{10}

STEP 6

Simplify the fraction.
2010=2 \frac{20}{10} = 2

STEP 7

Perform the subtraction.
142=12 14 - 2 = 12
The value of the expression when x=5 x = 5 is:
12\boxed{12}
