Math Question from Image

x x x x x 4x=□ x 10

The answer is 20

Explanation

  1. Identify the components on the left side of the equation.
    The image shows a balance scale representation. On the left side, there are four circles labeled “x”. This represents $$4x$$
  2. Identify the components on the right side of the equation.
    On the right side, there are two circles labeled “x” and a purple bar labeled “10”. This represents $$2x + 10$$
  3. Formulate the equation based on the balance scale.
    Since the scale is balanced, the total value on the left side is equal to the total value on the right side.
    So, the equation is $$4x = 2x + 10$$
  4. Solve for x.
    Subtract $$2x$$ from both sides of the equation:
    $$4x – 2x = 2x + 10 – 2x$$
    $$2x = 10$$
    Divide both sides by 2:
    $$x = \frac{10}{2}$$
    $$x = 5$$
  5. Calculate the value of 4x.
    The question asks for the value of $$4x$$. Substitute the value of $$x$$ into $$4x$$:
    $$4x = 4(5)$$
    $$4x = 20$$
  6. Fill in the blank.
    The equation given is $$4x = \square$$. Since we found that $$4x = 20$$, the value in the box is 20.
