Question

$$4(2+x)=10$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$2+x=\frac{10}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{10}{4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$2+x=\frac{5}{2}$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$x=\frac{5}{2}-2$$

Convert $2$ to fraction $\frac{4}{2}$.

$$x=\frac{5}{2}-\frac{4}{2}$$

Since $\frac{5}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{5-4}{2}$$

Subtract $4$ from $5$ to get $1$.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
