Question

-2(x-4)=10x+2 show ur work​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x you first isolate the variable you want on one side. We will do this by using PEMDAS and expanding our terms fully first before we move our terms around.

$-2(x-4)=10x+2\\-2x-8=10x+2$

We then isolate our term, remember to add numbers and variables to both sides so you aren't changing the value of the equation, and solve for x.$-2x-8=10x+2\\-2x-8-2+2x=10x+2-2+2x\\-10=12x\\\frac{-10}{12}=x\\\frac{-6}{5}=x\\-1.2=x$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x-4) =10x+2

-2x--8= 10x+2

-2x+8= 10x+2

-2x+10x= 8+2

8x= 10

x= 0.8
