2 5 | ( | 5 | + | x | ) | = | 1 5 | ( | 20 | + | x | ) |
Left side of the equation = | 2 5 | × | 5 | + | 2 5 | x |
= | 2 | + | 2 5 | x |
2 | + | 2 5 | x | = | 1 5 | ( | 20 | + | x | ) |
Right side of the equation = | 1 5 | × | 20 | + | 1 5 | x |
= | 4 | + | 1 5 | x |
2 | + | 2 5 | x | = | 4 | + | 1 5 | x |
2 5 | x | − | 1 5 | x | = | 4 | − | 2 |
1 5 | x | = | 4 | − | 2 |
1 5 | x | = | 2 |
x | = | 2 | ÷ | 1 5 |
= | 2 | × | 5 |
x | = | 10 |
