Question

-6(2x+5)=-66 how is it solved

Answer 1

tl;dr: x = 3
You'd start by dividing both sides by -6, giving you "2x + 5 = 11"
Then, you'd subtract 5 from both sides, giving you "2x = 6"
Finally, divide both sides by 2 for your final answer :)

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

-6(2x+5)=-66

expand brackets first

-12x-30=-66

add 30 to each side

-12x=-36

divided each side by -12

x=3
