2 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | = | 88 | + | 50 | + | 212 | − | 2 | x |
Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 2 | × | 5 |
= | 2 | x | + | 10 |
2 | x | + | 10 | = | 88 | + | 50 | + | 212 | − | 2 | x |
Right side of the equation = | 350 | − | 2 | x |
2 | x | + | 10 | = | 350 | − | 2 | x |
2 | x | + | 2 | x | = | 350 | − | 10 |
4 | x | = | 350 | − | 10 |
4 | x | = | 340 |
x | = | 340 | ÷ | 4 |
= | 340 | × | 1 4 |
= | 85 | × | 1 |
x | = | 85 |
