Question

2(5x+1) - 2x = 2-2(3x + 1)?

Answer 1

X=-1

Explanation:

2(5x+1)-2x=2-2(3x+1)

10x+2-2x=2-6x-2

8x+2=6x

8x=6x-2

2x=-2

X=-1

Answer 2

2(5x+1) - 2x = 2-2(3x + 1)

10x + 2 - 2x = 2 - 6x -2 (Distributing)

10x -2x + 6x = 2-2-2 ( Organizing like terms)

14x = -2 (Adding like terms)

x= -2 / 14 ( Isolating x)

x=-1/7 ( Simplifying)
