The answer is: X=9 first step is to distribute 2 into 4x and -10 then move the 8x over behind the 3x, then combine 8x and 3x together to get -5x=-20-25 combine -20 and -25 to get -45 then divide -45 by -5 to get x=9

Answer:

x=9

Explanation:

3x + 25 = 2(4x – 10)

3x + 25 = 8x-20

3x-8x=-20-25

-5x=-45

5x=45

x=9
