Question

Solve for variable.Show work -5-5(6x-8)=-5x+19

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−5−5(6x−8)=−5x+19

−5+(−5)(6x)+(−5)(−8)=−5x+19(Distribute)

−5+−30x+40=−5x+19

(−30x)+(−5+40)=−5x+19(Combine Like Terms)

−30x+35=−5x+19

−30x+35=−5x+19

Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.

−30x+35+5x=−5x+19+5x

−25x+35=19

Step 3: Subtract 35 from both sides.

−25x+35−35=19−35

−25x=−16

Step 4: Divide both sides by -25.
