To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, distribute 20 to the terms inside the parentheses:
20(2x - 8) = 440
40x - 160 = 440
Next, add 160 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term to the other side:
40x - 160 + 160 = 440 + 160
40x = 600
Divide both sides of the equation by 40 to solve for x:
40x/40 = 600/40
x = 15
Therefore, the value of x is 15.
