Question

What is the solution 4(x-8) + 10= -10

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

given

4(x - 8) + 10 = - 10 ← subtract 10 from both sides

4(x - 8) = - 20 ← divide both sides by 4

x - 8 = - 5 ← add 8 to both sides

x = 3

Answer 2

The answer is x = 3

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(x−8)+10=−10

Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−8)+10=−10

(4)(x)+(4)(−8)+10=−10(Distribute)

4x+−32+10=−10

(4x)+(−32+10)=−10(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−22=−10

4x−22=−10

Add 22 to both sides.

4x−22+22=−10+22

4x=12

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/3 = 12/3

x=3
