Question

These are my last two questions can someone please help me with them. :/

Answer 1

x = -23

x = -33

Explanation:

-10(x+5) + 9x = -73

-10x - 50 + 9x = -73

x - 50 = - 73

x = -73 + 50

x = -23

-5(x + 8) + 2x = 59

-5x - 40 + 2x = 59

-3x - 40 = 59

-3x = 59 + 40

-3x = 99

x = 99/-3

x = -33

Answer 2

Answer:

x=23

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−10(x+5)+9x=−73

(−10)(x)+(−10)(5)+9x=−73(Distribute)

−10x+−50+9x=−73

(−10x+9x)+(−50)=−73(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−50=−73

−x−50=−73

Step 2: Add 50 to both sides.

−x−50+50=−73+50

−x=−23

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x/−1 = −23/−1
