Plz help will make brainliest (by the way, if the pic is blurry, the equation you would solve is: 10x = 2x + 60)

x = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

10x (-2x) = 2x (-2x) + 60

10x - 2x = 60

8x = 60

Next, isolate the variable, x. Divide 8 from both sides of the equation:

(8x)/8 = (60)/8

x = 60/8

x = 7.5

x = 7.5 is your answer.
