Answer:
b. x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x :
10(x + 2) - 15 = 65
To solve this we need to isolate x :
Distribute the ten to both numbers within the parenthesis :
(10(x) + 10(2)) - 15 = 65
10x + 20 - 15 = 65
Order of operations :
10x + 5 = 65
Subtract 5 from both sides :
10x = 60
Divide 10 by both sides :
x = 6
