Question

5(2x+6)=-4(-5-2x)+3x step by step

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

Okay, let's solve :)

So first we have to distribute on the left side(it doesn't matter which side FYI)

When we do, we have :

10x + 30 = -4(-5-2x)

Now we distribute on the right side! Remember, negative * negative = positive.

10x + 30 = 20 + 8x + 3x

Let's simplify on the right side to

10x + 30 = 20 + 11x

Now, let's subtract 10x on both sides to get

x + 20 = 30(i simply flipped the equation)

Subtract 20 on both sides to get!

x = 10!
