Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is,
10(2x - 4) + 5 = 2x - 8
By using distributive rule,
20x - 40 + 5 = 2x - 8
20x - 35 = 2x - 8
Now we subtract 2x from both the sides of the equation
20x - 35 - 2x = 2x - 8 - 2x
18x - 35 = -8
By adding 35 on both the sides of the equation
18x - 35 + 35 = - 8 + 35
18x = 27
By diving with 18 from both the sides of the equation
[tex]\frac{18x}{18}=\frac{27}{18}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, Option D will be the correct option.
