Step-by-step explanation:
-(4x + 3x) = 10x - 5
We would have to multiply the -1 by the 4x and the 3x which is in the bracket.
Though there is no 1 behind the bracket but, behind any bracket there is 1 there even though it's ignored.
So when we multiply -1 by 4x we are going to get;
-4x
And when we multiply -1 by 3x It's going to be;
-3x
We have -3 and -4 because whenever we multiply any positive and negative number the product is negative.
So;
-4x - 3x = 10x - 5
So now, we group like terms;
- 4x - 3x - 10x = -5
So now that we have grouped, we have to add the negative numbers even though there is no addition sign there we would have to add
-17x = -5
So now we divide both sides by;
-17
Which is going to be;
x=

Answer:
I agree with the student's answer. "x" cannot be -2 because then it would make -20 which is not equal to 20:
5(-2)(2) = ?
-10 x 2 = ?
? = -20
-20 ≠ 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Justificaiton:
5(x)(2) = 20
10(x) = 20
10/10(x) = 20/10
x = 2
Second Justification:
5(x)(2) = 20
5/5(x)(2) = 20/5
2x = 4
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 2
