Answer:
<em>x = 2.5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x - ( - 5 - 4x ) = - 5 ( 2x - 7 )
- 2x + 5 + 4x = - 10x + 35
- 2x + 5 + 4x = - 10x + 35
- 2x + 4x + 10x = 35 - 5
12x = 30
<em>x = </em><em> = 2.5</em>
Check the answer:
<em>L.H.S.</em> = - 2(2.5) - [ - 5 - 4(2.5) ] = <em>10</em>
<em>R.H.S.</em> = - 5 [ 2(2.5) - 7 ] = <em>10</em>
