What value of xxx satisfies the following equation?
2(5x−20)−(25−8x)=7 2(5x-20)-(25-8x)=7 2(5x−20)−(25−8x)=7 10x−40−25+8x=7 10x-40-25+8x=7 10x−40−25+8x=7 18x−65=7 18x-65=7 18x−65=7 18x=72 18x=72 18x=72 x=4x=4 x=4
We could substitute the values in the answer choices into the initial equation, but the numbers are a bit too large to calculate quickly.
