Answer:
[tex]x=-0.500[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]5(2x+4)=15[/tex]
Applying distributive property left side
[tex]5*2x+5*4=15[/tex]
[tex]10x+20=15[/tex]
Subtract [tex]20[/tex] both sides
[tex]10x+20-20=15-20[/tex]
[tex]10x=-5[/tex]
Divide by [tex]10[/tex] both sides
[tex]x=-0.500[/tex]
