Solve x + 7 = -2(4x + 10). You must show all work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply out the brackets on the right first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then collect all the x's together. then factor the x out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Step by step please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply out the right side, so -2 times 4x and -2 * 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get the x's together and everything else on teh other side so add 8x to both sides and subtract 7 from both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide by 9 to leave x on its own

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay:) thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you now have x = 1/3 i think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
