Question

Simplfy given equation using the distributive property 6 - (3x+10) + 4(2 - x) =15

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

6 - (3x+10) + 4(2 - x) =15

Distribute

6 - 3x -10 +8 -4x = 15

Combine like terms

4 -7x = 15

Subtract 4 from each side

4 -7x-4 =15-4

-7x =11

Divide each side by -7

-7x/-7 = 11/-7

x = -11/7
