(-5x-10)/(5)-15=-2x+20\quad|\cdot5\\\\-5x-10-75=-10x+100\\\\-5x+10x=100+10+75\\\\5x=185\quad|:5\\\\\boxed{x=37}

Answer:

37

Explanation:

Hello!

First we add 15 to both sides


(-5x-10)/(5) = -2x + 35

Multiply both sides by 5

-5x - 10 = -10x + 175

Add 10 to both sides

-5x = -10x + 185

Add 10x to both sides

5x = 185

Divide both sides by 5

x = 37

The answer is 37

Hope this helps!
