Question

What is -2(x+5)=4 ????

Answer 1

Multiply -2 and x, and you’ll have -2x. Then multiply -2 and 5, and you’ll have -10. Therefore, -2x-10=4, but we’re not done yet. We need to get x by itself, so what we’re gonna have to do is add 10 to both sides. Now you’ll have -2x=14, and when you divide both sides by -2, you’ll have x=-7 which will be your answer
