Question

$$10x-85+10(-2x+2)=30$$

Solve for x

$x = -\frac{19}{2} = -9\frac{1}{2} = -9.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $10$ by $-2x+2$.

$$10x-85-20x+20=30$$

Combine $10x$ and $-20x$ to get $-10x$.

$$-10x-85+20=30$$

Add $-85$ and $20$ to get $-65$.

$$-10x-65=30$$

Add $65$ to both sides.

$$-10x=30+65$$

Add $30$ and $65$ to get $95$.

$$-10x=95$$

Divide both sides by $-10$.

$$x=\frac{95}{-10}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{95}{-10}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $5$.

$$x=-\frac{19}{2}$$
