x=10

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

`-5(x-4) = -30\\`

Step 1: Divide the entire equation by -5 and reduce to lowest terms.

`(-5)/(-5)(x-4) = (-30)/(-5)\\\\(x-4) = 6`

Step 2: Open the brackets and bring all constants on one -side, leaving variables on the other side of the equation.

`x-4 =6 \\x = 6 +4\\x=10`
