Question

-2x-10=2x+14 i need all the steps

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. always group the unknowns in this case, we 'bring' over the -2x to the right side so it becomes

-10 = 2x + 2x +14

2. Move 14 to the left side,

-10 - 14 = 2x + 2x

3. Carry out addition on both sides,

-24 = 4x

4. Simplify: since 24 is divisible by 4, so we divide 4 on both sides

-6 = x

Answer 2

Answer: x=-6.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to choose an x side, and a non-x side. Let's choose the right side as the x side since it's coefficient of x is greater than that of the left side. So, we add 2x on each side to get rid of the x on the left side. Now, we have -10=4x+14. Next, we should subtract 14 from each side to get rid of the non-x terms on the right side. Now, we are left with -24=4x. Finally, we can divide by four on each side to get x=-6.
