Hey there!
2x + 2 = -4(x - 5)
2x + 2 = -4(x) - 4(-5)
2x + 2 = -4x + 20
ADD 4x to BOTH SIDES
2x + 2 + 4x = -4x + 20 + 4x
SIMPLIFY IT!
6x + 2 = 20
SUBTRACT 18 to BOTH SIDES
6x + 2 - 2 = 20 - 2
CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 0
KEEP: 20 - 2 because it help solve for the x-value
NEW EQUATION: 6x = 20 - 2
SIMPLIFY IT!
6x = 18
DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES
6x/6 = 18/6
CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1
KEE: 18/6 because it help solve for the x-value
NEW EQUATION: x = 18/6
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 3
Therefore, your answer is: x = 3
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer:
5 packages of water and 3 packages of cheese sticks
Step-by-step explanation:
the least common multiple of 6 and 10 is 30
The answer is 16 ft because 6 ft tall over 4 feet 6 inches (4.5) is equal to x (tree's height) over 12 ft. You cross multiple and get 72 = 4.5x then you take 72 and divide by 4.5 to get the tree's height
