Step 1:
Distributive property

The equation is now
-2(2x) + -2(-5) = -74

Step 2:
Order of operations; multiply

The equation is now
-4x + 10 = -74

Step 3:
Subtract 10 from both sides

The equation is now
-4x = -84

Step 4:
Divide by -4 on both sides

The equation is now
x = 21

Answer:
21

6x+3(4x-2)=5(2x-8) the answer is -17/4 but can someone explain how to get that answer? plz help lol

Answer:

<h2> $x = - \frac{17}{4}$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$6x + 3(4x - 2) = 5(2x - 8)$

Expand the terms in the bracket and simplify

That's

$6x + 12x - 6 = 10x - 40 \\ 18x - 6 = 10x - 40$

Using the subtraction property subtract 10x from both sides of the equation

$18x - 10x - 6 = 10x - 10x - 40 \\ 8x - 6 = - 40$

<u>Add 6 to both sides of the equation</u>

$8x + 6 - 6 = - 40 + 6 \\ 8x = - 34$

<u>Divide both sides by 8</u>

$\frac{8x}{8} = - \frac{34}{8}$

<u>Reduce the fraction with 2</u>

We have the final answer as

$x = - \frac{17}{4}$

Hope this helps you
