-10

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify both sides of the equation.

4 (2x+25) = 20

(4) (2x) + (4) (25) = 20

8x+100=20

subtract 100 from both sides.

8x+100 _100 = 20_100

8x=-80

divide both sides by 8

8x=-80

8 8

x=-10

Hello!

Solve for x:

4 (2x+25) = 20

Distribute the 4 to the numbers inside the parenthesis.

8x + 100 = 20

Subtract 100 from both sides of the equation to get 8x by itself.

8x = - 80

Divide both sides by 8

x = - 10
