Question

$$-10\times[-5+x]=-10\times(-5)+(-10)\times7$$

Solve for x

$x=7$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-10$ by $-5+x$.

$$50-10x=-10\left(-5\right)-10\times 7$$

Multiply $-10$ and $-5$ to get $50$. Multiply $-10$ and $7$ to get $-70$.

$$50-10x=50-70$$

Subtract $70$ from $50$ to get $-20$.

$$50-10x=-20$$

Subtract $50$ from both sides.

$$-10x=-20-50$$

Subtract $50$ from $-20$ to get $-70$.

$$-10x=-70$$

Divide both sides by $-10$.

$$x=\frac{-70}{-10}$$

Divide $-70$ by $-10$ to get $7$.

$$x=7$$
