Someone please explain to me how it turned from 5x to 10x.

Answer:
Both sides were divided by 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
To further simplify the equation, both sides were divided by 1/2.
5x = 1/2[10 + (8x - 2)]
10x = 10 + 8x - 2
As you can see, 5x / 1/2 = 10x and 1/2[10 + (8x - 2)] = 10 + 8x - 2.
Instead of using (1/2 / 1/2)[10 + (8x - 2)] we can say 10 + 8x - 2 since 1/2 / 1/2 = 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
At step 2:. XY = 5
Step 4. :. XY =½(RA +TP)
5x changed to 10x because 5x
were multiplied by 2 in step 5.
PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST.
