Question

What is -5x-5(8x)=0 solve for x

Answer 1

multiply -5 and 8x to get -40x
then subtract 40x from -5x to get -45x
lastly divide 0 by -45 to get 0
x=0
hope this helps :)

Answer 2

-45(x) = 0 {Solve this}
Now, lets multiply (×) by both sides of the problem
45{x} = 0
Divide each of the sides of the problems by the number 45
So, this means that the value of x is probably going to be 0 ; x = 0
