Question

Did I do the problem -2x+10=-2(x+5) ? If not plz explain and answerthxx

Answer 1

So when you opened up the parenthesis on the right side of the question, you added -2 to 5 instead of multiplying. Since there is no addition sign in between -2 and the parenthesis, it should be multiplication, so -2x  + -10.

So now the answer would be 10 = -10.

Which leads me to believe that this question wasn't written correctly because 10 does not equal -10 for sure.
