let's solve for x :

  • 24 + 5x + 6 = -10

  • 30 + 5x = -10

  • 5x = -10 - 30

  • 5x = -40

  • x = -40 ÷ 5

  • x = -8

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
