Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline5x+12(6x10)=(8x+4)1 5 x+\frac{1}{2}(6 x-10)=-(-8 x+4)-1 \newline
  1. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.\newline(8x+4)1=8x41-(-8x + 4) - 1 = 8x - 4 - 1\newline8x58x - 5
  2. Multiply by 22: Multiply both sides of the equation by 22 to eliminate the fraction.\newline2[5x+12(6x10)]=2(8x5)2[5x + \frac{1}{2}(6x - 10)] = 2(8x - 5)\newline10x+(6x10)=16x1010x + (6x - 10) = 16x - 10
  3. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newline10x+6x10=16x1010x + 6x - 10 = 16x - 10\newline16x10=16x1016x - 10 = 16x - 10
  4. Subtract 16x16x: Subtract 16x16x from both sides of the equation.\newline16x1016x=16x1016x16x - 10 - 16x = 16x - 10 - 16x\newline10=10-10 = -10
