Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-4) =-10

Distribute 5 by multiplying x and -4 by 5

5x - 20 = -10

Add 20 to both sides

5x - 20 + 20 = -10 + 20

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

5x ÷ 5 = 10 ÷ 5

x = 2

Answer 2

5(x-4)=-10 (multiply 5 to x and -4)
5x-20= -10 (add 20 to -10)
5x=10 (divide both sides by 5)
x=2
