Question

Solve the following equation: - (4x – 10) + 5 = x-11 (point)
11
0-11
0-6

Answer 1

x = −2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−10+5=x−11

4x+−10+5=x+−11

(4x)+(−10+5)=x−11 (combine like terms)

4x+−5=x−11

4x−5=x−11

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

4x−5−x=x−11−x

3x−5=−11

Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.

3x−5+5=−11+5

3x=−6

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.

3x -6

___ = ___

3 3

x=-2
