Answer:
Simplifying
10x + -2 = 118
Reorder the terms:
-2 + 10x = 118
Solving
-2 + 10x = 118
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + 10x = 118 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 10x = 118 + 2
10x = 118 + 2
<em><u>Combine like terms: 118 + 2 = 120</u></em>
<em><u>Combine like terms: 118 + 2 = 12010x = 120</u></em>
<em><u>Combine like terms: 118 + 2 = 12010x = 120Divide each side by '10'.</u></em>
<em><u>Combine like terms: 118 + 2 = 12010x = 120Divide each side by '10'.x = 12</u></em>
<em><u>Combine like terms: 118 + 2 = 12010x = 120Divide each side by '10'.x = 12Simplifying</u></em>
