How to work out 2(4x-5)=4(x-1)?

Answer

firstly you have to multiply out the brackets so you would do the following

2 x 4x - 5 x 2

this would be 8x - 10 for the first bracket

4 multiplied by x - 4 x 1

this would be 4x - 4

so now you have the following

8x - 10 = 4x - 4

take 10 onto the other side

8x = 4x + 6

now take the 4x onto the other side

4x = 6

now divide both sides by 4

x = 1.5

i hope this has helped you :) xx
