Question

6 + 2(x-5) = -40 - 5(x-3) Help

Answer 1

6 + 2(x - 5) = -40 - 5(x - 3)
6 + 2x - 10 = -40 - 5x + 15
-4 + 2x = -25 - 5x
2x = -21 - 5x
7x = -21
x = -3

Answer 2

(2*x)(2*-5)=-40-(5*x)(5*-3)
6+2x-10=-40-5x+15
6-10=-4+2x=5x-25
2x-4=5x-25
+4=+4
2x=5x-21
/5x=/5x
2/5x=-21
*5=*5
2x=-105
/2=/2
x=-52.5
