Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first expand 5(x-10), getting 5x - 50.
Thus, 5x - 50 = 30 - 15x
We can then isolate x, getting (5+15) x = 30 + 50
20 x = 80
x = 4.
5(x - 10) = 30 - 15x
We distribute 5 (x-10)
So 5x-50 = 30 -15x
5x+15x=50+30
(-15x became 15x because we brought it back to the other side and -50 became 50 because we brought it back to the other side to put the x's with the x's and the digits with the digits.)
So 20x=80
x= 50/20
We simplify 80/20
So x=4
