Question

3(x+-10)=5(2x+8) Honestly I hate math lol.

Answer 1

Hey :)

x = -10

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x−10
3x−30=5(2x+8)

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2x+8
3x−30=10x+40

Subtract 10x from both sides
3x−30−10x=40

Combine 3x and −10x to get −7x.
−7x−30=40

Add 30 to both sides
−7x=40+30

Add 40 and 30 to get 70
−7x=70

Divide both sides by −7
x= 70/-7
​

Divide 70 by −7 to get −10


Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

- 10

Explanation:

Step 1:

3 ( x - 10 ) = 5 ( 2x + 8 ) Equation

Step 2:

3x - 30 = 10x + 40 Multiply

Step 3:

- 30 = 7x + 40 Subtract 3x on both sides

Step 4:

- 70 = 7x Subtract 40 on both sides

Step 5:

x = - 70 ÷ 7 Divide

Answer:

x = - 10
