To solve the equation (х-8)•2/5=2, we can follow the steps below:
Multiply 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
Distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation:
2•х - 2•8 = 10
This simplifies to:
2х - 16 = 10
Add 16 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with х:
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
Therefore, the solution to the equation (х-8)•2/5=2 is х = 13.
