Answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5−2(3−x)=4x+10

5+(−2)(3)+(−2)(−x)=4x+10(Distribute)

5+−6+2x=4x+10

(2x)+(5+−6)=4x+10(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−1=4x+10

2x−1=4x+10

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

2x−1−4x=4x+10−4x

−2x−1=10

Step 3: Add 1 to both sides.

−2x−1+1=10+1

−2x=11

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x

−2

ANSWER: -11 /2
