Question

−10x + 6(x − 5) = 12x − 62

Answer 1

Answer: x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

first you distribute -10x+6x-30=12x-62

then combine all like terms -16x=-32

then divide -16x/-16=-32/-16

answer x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have:

$-10x+6(x-5)=12x-62$

Distribute:

$-10x+6x-30=12x-62$

Combine like terms:

$-4x-30=12x-62$

Subtract 12x from both sides:

$-16x-30=-62$

Add 30 to both sides:

$-16x=-32$

Divide both sides by -16:

$x=2$

And that's our answer :)
