Distribute -10
-10n - 50 = 40
Add 50 to both sides
-50 + 50 would cancel
- 50 + 40 = -10
Divide by -10
-10/-10 = 1
N=1
If its negative to negative the number will be positive if its two positives I will be positive and the higher number of the problem decides weither its positive or negative then u add like normal
3(x+5)=8x~~~First we distribute (we multiply 3 by x and 3 by 5)
3x+15=8x~~~Remove 3x from both sides
-3x -3x
15=5x~~~~Turn this equation around so x is on the other side
5x=15~~~Divide by 5x
÷5x ÷5x
x=3
48/15 = 3.2 round to nearest whole number (3)
48-3 = 45 men
The factored form for this question is (5x-1)(x-5)
