Question

Solve for x in this equation. 24 + 5x + 6 = -10

Answer 1

let's solve for x :

• 24 + 5x + 6 = -10

• 30 + 5x = -10

• 5x = -10 - 30

• 5x = -40

• x = -40 ÷ 5

• x = -8

Answer 2

Answer: x = -8

Step-by-step explanation: 24 + 5x + 6 = -10

1. Add (24+6=30)

2. (5x+30=-10)

3. Subtract 30 from both sides, cross out 30-30 and subtract (-10-30)

4. 5x-40

5. Divide by 5

6. -40/5= -8
