\qquad \qquad\qquad\large\overbrace{\underbrace{\underline{ \boxed{ \sf \:Aƞsweɾ }}}}

Let's solve ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5(4 - 3x) = - 10


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 20- 15x = - 10


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: - 15x = - 10 - 20


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: - 15x = - 30


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = - 30 / ( - 15)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 2

Therefore, the value of x is 2
