Solve 2left(10-xright)=65*0.2

$$2 \left( 10-x \right) = 65 \cdot 0.2$$

Solve for x

$$x=3.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 10-x.

$$20-2x=65\times 0.2$$

Multiply 65 and 0.2 to get 13.

$$20-2x=13$$

Subtract 20 from both sides.

$$-2x=13-20$$

Subtract 20 from 13 to get -7.

$$-2x=-7$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{-7}{-2}$$

Fraction \frac{-7}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{7}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{7}{2}$$
