4 (5x-3) + 5x+5 = 118

solve for x

x=1+2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (5x-3) = 5x+5=118

We move all terms to the left:

4 (5x-3) - (5x+5) = 0

We multiply parentheses

20x - (5x+5) - 12=0

We get rid of parentheses

20x-5x-5-12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

15x-17=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

15x=17

x=17/15

x=1+2/15
