Solve 4left(x-5right)=10

$$4 \left( x-5 \right) = 10$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{15}{2} = 7\frac{1}{2} = 7.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x-5=\frac{10}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x-5=\frac{5}{2}$$

Add 5 to both sides.

$$x=\frac{5}{2}+5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$x=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{10}{2}$$

Since \frac{5}{2} and \frac{10}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{5+10}{2}$$

Add 5 and 10 to get 15.

$$x=\frac{15}{2}$$
