HELP PLSSSS

-5|x + 1] = 10

Answer 1

x= -3

Explanation:

We want to solve for x in the following equation. We must isolate x on one side of the equation.

`-5(x+1)=10`

-5 is being multiplied by (x+1). The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by -5.

`-5(x+1)/-5=10/-5`

`(x+1)=10/-5`

`(x+1)=-2`

1 is being added to x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.

`x+1-1= -2-1`

`x=-2-1`

`x=-3`

Let's check our solution. Plug -3 in for x and solve.

`-5(x+1)=10`

`-5(-3+1)=10`

`-5(-2)=10`

`10=10`

This checks out, so we know our solution is correct.

The solution to -5(x+1)=10 is x=-3
