Answer 1

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x -10 = 10

First thing to do when solving one-variable linear equations is to get the variable by itself. We can do this by adding 10 to both sides:

-5x = 20

Now that we have -5x on one side of the equation we can divide the equation by -5 to get x:

x = -4

Answer 2

Answer:

$- 5x - 10 = 10 \\ - 5x = 10 + 10 \\ - 5x = 20 \\ x = - \frac{20}{4} \\ x = - 5$
