The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 16(3x - 5) - 10(4x - 8) = 10 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Distribute the terms Distributing \( 16 \) and \( -10 \) across their respective brackets: \[ 16(3x) - 16(5) - 10(4x) + 10(8) = 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ 48x - 80 - 40x + 80 = 10 \] ### Step 2: Combine like terms Now, combine the like terms on the left side: \[ (48x - 40x) + (-80 + 80) = 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ 8x + 0 = 10 \] So we have: \[ 8x = 10 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by \( 8 \): \[ x = \frac{10}{8} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = \frac{5}{4} \] ### Step 4: Check the result To check our solution, substitute \( x = \frac{5}{4} \) back into the original equation: \[ 16(3(\frac{5}{4}) - 5) - 10(4(\frac{5}{4}) - 8) = 10 \] Calculating inside the brackets: \[ 3(\frac{5}{4}) = \frac{15}{4} \quad \text{and} \quad 4(\frac{5}{4}) = 5 \] So we have: \[ 16(\frac{15}{4} - 5) - 10(5 - 8) = 10 \] Now, calculate \( \frac{15}{4} - 5 \): \[ 5 = \frac{20}{4} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{15}{4} - \frac{20}{4} = -\frac{5}{4} \] Now substitute back into the equation: \[ 16(-\frac{5}{4}) - 10(-3) = 10 \] Calculating: \[ -16 \cdot \frac{5}{4} = -20 \quad \text{and} \quad -10 \cdot -3 = 30 \] So we have: \[ -20 + 30 = 10 \] This confirms that the left side equals the right side, thus verifying our solution. ### Final Answer: \[ x = \frac{5}{4} \] ---
