To solve the equation (х - 8) • 2/5 = 2, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction.
5 * (х - 8) • 2/5 = 2 • 5
This simplifies to:
2(х - 8) = 10
Next, distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2•х - 2•8 = 10
This simplifies to:
2х - 16 = 10
To isolate the term with х, we can add 16 to both sides of the equation:
2х - 16 + 16 = 10 + 16
This simplifies to:
2х = 26
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for х:
(2х)/2 = 26/2
This simplifies to:
х = 13
So the solution to the equation (х - 8) • 2/5 = 2 is х = 13.
