Question

What is X in the equation 15x-10(-4)=10

Answer 1

x = -2

Steps:

10x-10(-4)=10

15x+10*4=10

15x+40=10

15x+40-40=10-40

15x=-30

`(15x)/(15) = (-30)/(15)`

Answer 2

`\sf 15x-10(-4)=10`

`\sf 15x+10* \:4=10`

`\sf 15x+40=10`

`\sf 15x+40-40=10-40`

`\sf 15x=-30`

`\sf \cfrac{15x}{15}=\cfrac{-30}{15}`

`\sf x=-2`
