4 (2x - 5) + 15 = 11 Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.

8x-20+15=11

8x+15=11+20

8x+15=31

8x=31-15

8x=16

X=2

First, add 20 to both sides

Simplify

Subtract 15 from both sides

Simplify

Divide 8 from both sides

Simplify

First, multiply 4*2x-4*-5 = 8x-20.

Second, add 15 to 8x-20

Third, that would equal 8x-20+15=11

Fourth, 15+-20 = - 5

Fifth, 8x-5=11

Sixth, add + 5 to - 5 and + 5 to 11 = 8x=16

Last, do 8x/8x and 16/8x

The answer is x=2
