What is the value of x in the equation 4 (2x + 10) = 0

4 (2x + 10) = 0

Distribute: 8x + 40 = 0.

Subtract 40 from both sides of the equation = = > 8x = - 40

Divide by 8: x = - 5

Substitute back into the equation to check.

4 (2 (-5) + 10) = 0

4 (-10 + 10) = 0

4 (0) = 0

0 = 0

x is equal to - 5.

Steps-

First, distribute within the parenthesis: 8x+40=0

Subtract 40 from both sides: 8x=-40

Divide both sides by 8: x=-5

Answer: x=-5
