Question

Solve for x: 10 - 2x = -5x - 5 (1) X = -5 (3) X= 4 (2) x 15 (4)x= -15

Answer 1

10 - 2x = -5x -5
+2x +2x
10 = -3x -5
+5 +5
15= -3x
X= -5

Answer 2

First you add 5x on both sides:

10−2x+5x=−5

=
10+3x=−5

Then you subtract 10 from both sides:

3x=−5−10
=
3x=-15

Then you divide both sides by 3

X= -15/3

X= -5
