Question

Imagine you are teaching a fellow student how to solve:
4 + 2(x - 1) = 5x - (x + 10)

In your own words, explain the process for solving this equation. Please include your work at each step of the process along with the final answer

Answer 1

Easy squeezy Lemon Peezy. Haha. Um okay so...

Answer 2

4 + 2(x - 1) = 5x - (x + 10)
4 + 2x - 2 = 5x - x - 10
2x - 5x + x = - 4 + 2 - 10
-2x = -12
x = -12/-2
x = 6

Answer 3

I for got all the proper terms for it but multiply two times x and two times negative 1 then the sum of that answer plus 4. That negative on the second half has an invisible one so negative one times x plus 10 and that x becomes a negative 1x so negative 1x plus 5x is 6 x so x equals six or if she wants you to write it out with numbers the one above me is right too.
