QuestionSolve the equation: 4(25x)+3=2x4(2-5 x)+3=2 x

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equation is 4(5x)+3=x4(-5x)+3=x . We are solving for xx

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the 44 in the equation.
4(25x)+=2x4(2-5x)+=2xBecomes820x+=2x8-20x+=2x

STEP 3

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
8+320x=2x8 +3 -20x =2xBecomes1120x=2x11 -20x =2x

STEP 4

Now, we need to get all the xx terms on one side and the constants on the other side. Add 20x20x to both sides of the equation.
1120x+20x=2x+20x11 -20x +20x =2x +20xBecomes11=22x11 =22x

STEP 5

Finally, we can solve for xx by dividing both sides of the equation by 2222.
1122=22x22\frac{11}{22} = \frac{22x}{22}Becomesx=12x = \frac{1}{2}So, the solution to the equation 4(25x)+3=2x4(2-5x)+3=2x is x=12x = \frac{1}{2}.
