Question

Solve for x. Show each step of the solution.

5(2-x)-10=25-2(3x+40)

Answer 1

5(2-x)-10=25-2(3x+40)

Remove the parentheses

10-5x-10=25-6x-80

Remove the opposites calculate

-5x=-55-6x

Move the variable to the left

-5x+6x=-55

Collect like terms

Solution
X= -55

Answer 2

x = -55

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 5(2 - x) - 10 = 25 - 2(3x + 40)

Now the value of x will be,

→ 5(2 - x) - 10 = 25 - 2(3x + 40)

→ 10 - 5x - 10 = 25 - 6x - 80

→ -5x + 6x = 25 - 80

→ [ x = -55 ]

Hence, the value of x is -55.
