Solve 4*(2x+2.5)+7=20-2x+(4*5-3)

$$4 \times (2x+2.5)+7=20-2x+(4 \times 5-3)$$

Solve for x

$$x=2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+2.5.

$$8x+10+7=20-2x+4\times 5-3$$

Add 10 and 7 to get 17.

$$8x+17=20-2x+4\times 5-3$$

Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.

$$8x+17=20-2x+20-3$$

Add 20 and 20 to get 40.

$$8x+17=40-2x-3$$

Subtract 3 from 40 to get 37.

$$8x+17=37-2x$$

Add 2x to both sides.

$$8x+17+2x=37$$

Combine 8x and 2x to get 10x.

$$10x+17=37$$

Subtract 17 from both sides.

$$10x=37-17$$

Subtract 17 from 37 to get 20.

$$10x=20$$

Divide both sides by 10.

$$x=\frac{20}{10}$$

Divide 20 by 10 to get 2.

$$x=2$$
