Question

8x+10-2x=4(x-5) solve for x

Answer 1

`x=-15`

Explanation:

`8x+10-2x=4(x-5) \\ \\ 6x+10=4x-20 \\ \\ 2x=-30 \\ \\ x=-15`

Answer 2

x = -15

First, distribute the 4 to the x - 5 to get 8x + 10 - 2x = 4x - 20.

Now, subtract 4x and 10 from each side to get 4x - 2x = -30

Simplify the subtraction to get 2x = -30.

Divide both sides by 2 to get a final answer of x = -15.
