Question

−5(5x+3)−5x+1= -44
solve for X

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Equation:

$-5(5x+3)-5x+1= -44$

Distribute the -5

$-25x-15-5x+1= -44$

Add like terms

$-30x-14=-44$

Add 14 to both sides

$-30x=-30$

Divide both sides by -30

$x=1$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(5x+3) - 5x + 1 = -44

(-5*5x -5*3) - 5x + 1 = -44

(-25x - 15) - 5x + 1 = -44

-25x - 5x - 15 + 1 = -44

-30x - 14 = -44

-30x = -44 + 14

-30x = -30

x = -30/-30

x = 1

Check:

-5(/5*1) + 3) - 5*1 + 1 = -44

-5(5+3) - 5 + 1 = -44

-5*8 - 5 + 1 = -44

-40 - 5 + 1 = -44

-45 + 1 = -44
