Marlena solved the equation 2x 5 = –10 – x. her steps are shown below. 2x 5 = –10 – x 3x 5 = –10 3x = –15 x = –5 use the drop-down menus to justify marlena’s work in each step of the process. step 1: step 2: step 3:

Answer 1

We are asked to evaluate Marlena's solution in solving the expression below: 2x+5 = -10 -x
The first step is to re-write the expression and transpose same terms in the left side while all numbers are transferred to the right side such as shown below:
Step 0: 2x+5 = -10 -x
Step 1: 2x + x = -10 -5
Step 2: 3x = -15
Step 3: x =-15/3
The answer is x=-5.

Answer 2

The value of x is -5 and the steps taken are: Collect the like terms, Subtraction property of equality and Division property of equality.

Given :

$2x+5=-10-x$

Solution :

Step 1 : Collect the like terms,

$2x+x+5=-10$

$3x+5=-10$

Step 2 : Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation (Subtraction property of equality)

$3x+5-5=-10-5$

$3x=-15$

Step 3 : Divide both sides by 3 (Division property of equality)

$\dfrac{3x}{3}=-\dfrac{15}{3}$

$x=-5$

The value of x is -5 and the steps taken are: Collect the like terms, Subtraction property of equality and Division property of equality.
