Answer:

Explanation:

Rearrange

5 -10x = -75

-10x + 5 = -75

Subtract 5 from each side

-10x + 5 = 75-

-10x + 5-5 = -75-5

witch would mean

x = 8

  • 5 - 10x = - 75, value of x = ?


\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}


\sf5 - 10 x = - 75

Subtract 5 from both sides.


\sf-10x=-75-5

Subtract 5 from -75 to get -80.


\sf-10x=-80

Divide both sides by -10.


\sf \: x=(-80)/(-10) \\

Divide -80 by -10 to get 8.


\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: x = 8}}
