Answer: x=0

Explanation:

Given

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

Combine like term

20=-2(4x-10)

Distributive property (REMEMBER you need to change signs when it is negative outside)

20=-8x+20

Subtract 20 on both sides (subtractive property of equality)

-8x=0

Divide -8 on both sides (division property of equality)

x=0

Hope this helps!! :)
