Question

Help lol -30=5(x+1) x= ?

Answer 1

1.Distribute

-30=5(x+1). x

`-30=5x^(2)+5x`

2. Move terms to the left side

`-30=5x^(2) +5x`

`-30-(5x^(2) +5x)=0`

3. Rearrange terms

`-30-5x^(2) -5x=0`

`-5x^(2) -5x-30=0`

Hope this helps! Sorry if I'm wrong

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\large\text{ORIGINAL EQUATION}\downarrow`

`\large\textsf{ -30 = 5(x + 1)}`

`\large\text{TURN the EQUATION}`

`\large\textsf{5(x + 1) = -30}`

`\large\text{DISTRIBUTE \textsf{5} WITHIN the PARENTHESES}`

`\large\textsf{5(x) + 5(1) = -30}`

`\large\textsf{5(x) = \bf 5x}\\\large\textsf{5(1) = 5}`

`\rightarrow\large\textsf{5x + 5 = -30}`

`\large\text{NEW EQUATION: \textsf{5x + 5 = -30}}`

`\large\text{SUBTRACT \textsf{5} to BOTH SIDES}`

`\large\textsf{5x + 5 - 5 = -30 - 5}`

`\large\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{5 - 5} because that gives you \textsf{0}}`

`\large\text{KEEP: \textsf{-30 - 5} because that helps you solve for your \textsf{x-value}}`

`\large\textsf{-30 - 5 = \bf -35}`

`\large\text{NEW EQUATION: \textsf{5x = -35}}`

`\large\text{DIVIDE \textsf{5} to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{(5x)/(5)= (-35)/(5)}`

`\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(5x)/(5)}\large\text{ because that gives you the value of \textsf{1}}`

`\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{(-35)/(5)}\large\text{ gives you the \textsf{x-value}}`

`\large\textsf{x = }\mathsf{(-35)/(5)}`

`\large\text{SIMPLIFY ABOVE \& YOU HAVE YOUR x-value}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{ANSWER: \huge \bf x = -7}}}\huge\checkmark`

`\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}`
