Question

−x+10=−5 Please help and include step by step.

Answer 1

Start by subtracting 10 from both sides to get $-x$ alone.

$-x$ + 10 = -5

$-x$ + 10 - 10 = -5 -10

$-x$ = -15

Now divide each side by 1 to get rid of the negative.

$-x$ = -15

$\frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{-15}{-1}$

$x$ = 15

This means that in the equation $-x$ is 15.

If you want to check if that's correct just plugin 15 for $-x$ into the equation.

$-x$ + 10 = -5

-15 + 10 = -5 ✓ $correct$
