SOLVE FOR X please

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\textbf{Equation:}`

`\mathbf{2(-5x + 4) + 4x - 5 = -3}`

`\huge\textbf{Solving for it:}`

`\mathbf{2(-5x) + 2(4) + 4x - 5 = -3}`

`\mathbf{-10x + 4 + 4x - 5 = -3}`

`\huge\textbf{Combine the like terms:}`

`\mathbf{(-10x + 4x) + (8 - 5) = -3}`

`\mathbf{-10x + 4x + 8 - 5 = -3}`

`\mathbf{-6x + 3 = -3}`

`\huge\textbf{Subtract \boxed{\bf 3} to both sides:}`

`\mathbf{-6x + 3 - 3= -3 - 3}`

`\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}`

`\mathbf{-6x = -3 - 3}`

`\mathbf{-6x = -6}`

`\huge\textbf{Divide \boxed{\bf -6} to both sides:}`

`\mathbf{(-6x)/(-6) = (-6)/(-6)}`

`\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}`

`\mathbf{x = (-6)/(-6)}`

`\mathbf{x = -6/-6}`

`\mathbf{x = 1}`

`\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf x =\frak{1}}\huge\checkmark`
