How do you solve the equation 2 (4x-11) = 10

2 (4x-11) = 10

8x - 22 = 10 Distribute.

8x = 32 Add 22 to each side.

x = 4 Divide each side by 8.

Answer: x = 4

2 (4x-11) = 10

a. Distribute 2

2 (4x-11) = 10 >> 8x-22=10

b. Get the unknown variable by itself (add 22 on both sides)

8x-22=10 >> 8x=32

+22 + 22

c. Get the variable to equal to 1 or x (Divide 8 on both sides)

8x=32 >> x = 4

8x/8 (so it can equal to 1x) = 32/8

tip: x = 1x

Answer: x = 4
