Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
given
4(x - 8) + 10 = - 10 ← subtract 10 from both sides
4(x - 8) = - 20 ← divide both sides by 4
x - 8 = - 5 ← add 8 to both sides
The answer is x = 3
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4(x−8)+10=−10
Simplify both sides of the equation.
(4)(x)+(4)(−8)+10=−10(Distribute)
4x+−32+10=−10
(4x)+(−32+10)=−10(Combine Like Terms)
4x+−22=−10
4x−22=−10
Add 22 to both sides.
4x−22+22=−10+22
4x=12
Divide both sides by 4.
4x/3 = 12/3
x=3
