Answer 1

• x=-55

Explanation:

`5(2-x)-10=25-2(3x+40)\\\\10-5x-10=25-6x-80\\\\-5x=-6x-55\\\\-5x+6x=-55\\\\x= -55`

Answer 2

x = -55

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve for x by isolating the variable.

Solve for x

• 5(2 - x) - 10 = 25 - 2(3x + 40)
• 5(2) - 5(x) - 10 = 25 - 2(3x) - 2(40)
• 10 - 5x - 10 = 25 - 6x - 80
• -5x = -55 - 6x
• x = -55

The value of x is -55.
