The easiest way to find this answer is to work through it step by step.
She starts with 75 pieces.
She eats 5 pieces, so the # of pieces goes down from 75 to 75-5 = 70.
So she has 70 pieces left to put in the bags.
She puts the same amount in each of 10 bags... so we divide 70 by 10 to find the # of pieces in each bag.
70 divided by 10 is 7.
She put 7 pieces in each bag.
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2+5x+2=0
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2+5x+2=0
(5x)+(2+2)=0(Combine Like Terms)
5x+4=0
5x+4=0
Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.
5x+4−4=0−4
5x=−4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.
