Answer:
The value of [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]2(2.5x + 8) = 26[/tex]
-Divide both sides by [tex]2[/tex]:
[tex]2(2.5x + 8) = 26[/tex]
[tex]2.5x + 8 = \frac{26}{2}[/tex]
-Divide [tex]26[/tex] by [tex]2[/tex]:
[tex]2.5x + 8 = \frac{26}{2}[/tex]
[tex]2.5x + 8 = 13[/tex]
-Subtract both sides by [tex]8[/tex]:
[tex]2.5x + 8 - 8 = 13 - 8[/tex]
[tex]2.5x = 5[/tex]
-Divide both sides by [tex]2.5[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{2.5x}{2.5} = \frac{5}{2.5}[/tex]
Expand to the form [tex]\frac{5}{2.5} = 2[/tex] by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by [tex]10[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{5}{2.5} = 2[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{50}{25}[/tex]
Then, you divide [tex]50[/tex] by [tex]25[/tex]:
[tex]x = \frac{50}{25}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
So, the final answer would be [tex]x = 2[/tex] .
