Hey there!

2x + 2 = -4(x - 5)

2x + 2 = -4(x) - 4(-5)

2x + 2 = -4x + 20

ADD 4x to BOTH SIDES

2x + 2 + 4x = -4x + 20 + 4x

SIMPLIFY IT!

6x + 2 = 20

SUBTRACT 18 to BOTH SIDES

6x + 2 - 2 = 20 - 2

CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 0

KEEP: 20 - 2 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: 6x = 20 - 2

SIMPLIFY IT!

6x = 18

DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES

6x/6 = 18/6

CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1

KEE: 18/6 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 18/6

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 3

Therefore, your answer is: x = 3

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
