Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 5x + 10 - x - 2 = 50, that is

- 6x + 8 = 50 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 6x = 42 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = - 7

Answer:

(-5x - 10) - 2x = 50

-7x - 10 = 50

+10 +10

-7x = 60

-7x/7 = 60/7

x=8.57142857143 or 60/7

Step-by-step explanation:

You first distribute the -5 to X and 2 then add x and 2. Then add 10 on both sides. Next divided each side by POSITIVE 7 and decimal or fraction is ur final answer
