Question

Hello how are you today. Question 2(×+-5)+×=×+(-6) ​

Answer 1

x=2 ( see Image below)

Explanation:

cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation

2(x-5)=-6

move the constant to the right -hand side and change its sign

2x= -6 +10

Calculate the sum

2x=4

divide both sides of the equation by 2

x=2

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

2(x + -5) + x = x + (-6)

Step 2: Solve for x

1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 2: 2x - 10 + x = x - 6
2. [Addition] Combine like terms (x): 3x - 10 = x - 6
3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract x on both sides: 2x - 10 = -6
4. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 10 on both sides: 2x = 4
5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides: x = 2
