1. distribute the negative.
2. subtract the numbers
3. combine like terms
4. add five to both sides of the equation
5. simplify
6. divide both sides of the equation by the same term
7. simplify again :)

Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

  • -(10x + 1) + 4(x- 1) = -23 expand
  • -10x - 1 + 4x - 4 = -23 combine similar terms
  • -10x + 4x = -23 + 1 + 4 simplify
  • -6x = -18 divide -6 both sides
  • x = -18 / -6 simplify
  • x = 3
