Distribute −4: Now, distribute −4 into the terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation.-4(x-5) = -4\times x + 4\times 5\(\newline= -4x + 20\)
Simplified form of equation: Next, we have the simplified form of the equation:6x−20=−4x+20Now, we will add 4x to both sides of the equation to get all the x terms on one side.6x−20+4x=−4x+20+4x10x−20=20
Add 4x to both sides: Then, we will add 20 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.10x−20+20=20+2010x=40
Add 20 to both sides: Finally, we will divide both sides of the equation by 10 to solve for x.1010x=1040x=4
