2x + 10...the common number between these 2 terms is 2...so factor the 2 out
2(x + 5) <==
Answer:
-28 + -1 = -29
-14 + -2 = -16
-7 + -4 = -11
-4 + -7 = -11
-2 + -14 = -16
-1 + -28 = -29
1 + 28 = 29
2 + 14 = 16
4 + 7 = 11
7 + 4 = 11
14 + 2 = 16
28 + 1 = 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by writing what is said:
2x + 4 = -6
From there just solve for x:
Subtract 4 from both sides
2x + 4 - 4 = -6 - 4
2x = -10
Divide by 2 to get x by itself
2x/2 = -10/2
x = -5
