Question

Solve the following multistep equation. show all steps. 5(x-10)=-2

Answer 1

9.600

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

5*(x-10)-(-2)=0

5x - 48 = 0

Add 48 to both sides of the equation :

5x = 48

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 48/5 = 9.600

Answer 2

9.6

Explanation:

5(x-10)=-2

Open the bracket

5x-50=-2

Add 50 to both sides

5x=-2+50

5x=48

Divide both sides by 5

X=9.6
