Question

$$8x+10-2x=4(x-5)$$

Solve for x

$x=-15$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $8x$ and $-2x$ to get $6x$.

$$6x+10=4\left(x-5\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $4$ by $x-5$.

$$6x+10=4x-20$$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$6x+10-4x=-20$$

Combine $6x$ and $-4x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x+10=-20$$

Subtract $10$ from both sides.

$$2x=-20-10$$

Subtract $10$ from $-20$ to get $-30$.

$$2x=-30$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{-30}{2}$$

Divide $-30$ by $2$ to get $-15$.

$$x=-15$$
