Answer:

it is 0

Explanation:

−x−10−4x=−5(x+2)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−x−10−4x=−5(x+2)

−x+−10+−4x=(−5)(x)+(−5)(2)(Distribute)

−x+−10+−4x=−5x+−10

(−x+−4x)+(−10)=−5x−10(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−10=−5x−10

−5x−10=−5x−10

Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.

−5x−10+5x=−5x−10+5x

−10=−10

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

−10+10=−10+10

0=0
