Question

PLEASE HELP :D ( these are multi step equations )

Solve each equation. Show OR explain all work.

1. 2x - 7x + 10 = -2

2. 4(-2x + 2) = 16

Answer 1

For the first problem the answer is -5/2

2x−7+10=−2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x−7+10=−2
2x+−7+10=−2
(2x)+(−7+10)=−2

(Combine Like Terms)
2x+3=−2

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.
2x+3−3=−2−3
2x=−5

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2=−5/2
x=−5/2

Answer:
x= -5/2
