Question

-8(x-5)-2(5-x)=4x-80

Answer 1

take out 2 from all parts.....

-4(x-5)-(5-x)=2x-40

Answer 2

Distribute.

\(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow -8x + 40 - 10 + 2x = 4x - 80 }\)

\(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow -6x + 30 = 4x - 80 }\)

\(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow -6x + 110 = 4x }\)

\(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 110 = 10x}\)

\(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x = 11 }\)

Answer 3

so then -4x+20-5+x=2x-40

-3x+15=2x-40

15=5x-40

55=5x

x=11
