Answer:
Explanation:
1) group any number with an X together and rewrite answer (if there is a negative in front of a number always carry it with it when rearranging.)
10x-10x-6-2
2) lets solve the numbers with Xs together
10x+10x= 20x
3) now lets solve whole numbers
-6-2=-8
4) bring down the 20x and the -8/ rewrite problem with your solved numbers
20x-8
5) we have to have X alone so in order to get rid of the 20 in front of the X you must divide 20 by 20x,
20x/20 ( it cancel's out and now you're left with X)
X=-8
6) but whatever you do to one side of the equal sign you have to do to the other side so now you must divide -8/20 which will leave you with
Answer: X=-0.4 or -2/5
