Question

Solve for x: -2(x - 3) = 10

x = -2

x = 2

x = -8

x = 8

Answer 1

First expand the brackets, then solve for x.

Answer 2

@kenbaby We have
\[-2(x-3)=10\]
Divide both sides by -2
\[-2(x-3)/(-2)=10/(-2)\]
We get
\[x-3=-5\]
Add 3 to both the sides
\[x-3+3=-5+3\]
Can you proceed from here?

Answer 3

so would it be the first one?
