how do i simplify 2x - 10x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(x - 5x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide it by two and it will give you x-5x

OpenStudy (goformit100):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(x-5x) you have to make sure you do that so it's still 2x-10x ^^^^^^ - distributive property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then x-5x=-4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 1
