Question

$$40x-85+10(-2\times+2)=35$$

Solve for x

$x=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply $10$ and $-2$ to get $-20$.

$$40x-85-20\times 2=35$$

Multiply $-20$ and $2$ to get $-40$.

$$40x-85-40=35$$

Subtract $40$ from $-85$ to get $-125$.

$$40x-125=35$$

Add $125$ to both sides.

$$40x=35+125$$

Add $35$ and $125$ to get $160$.

$$40x=160$$

Divide both sides by $40$.

$$x=\frac{160}{40}$$

Divide $160$ by $40$ to get $4$.

$$x=4$$
