Question

PLEASE HELP -2x+3(9+2x)-5=-10

Answer 1

9+2x was y so i subbed it i but i dont know how to continue it

Answer 2

Simplifying
2x + -10 = 10 + -3x

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 2x = 10 + -3x

Solving
-10 + 2x = 10 + -3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3x' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 2x + 3x = 10 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x
-10 + 5x = 10 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: -3x + 3x = 0
-10 + 5x = 10 + 0
-10 + 5x = 10

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + 5x = 10 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + 5x = 10 + 10
5x = 10 + 10

Combine like terms: 10 + 10 = 20
5x = 20

Divide each side by '5'.
x = 4

Simplifying
x = 4

Answer 3

thank you but 4 isnt one of the multiple choice options:(

Answer 4

damn

Answer 5

I'm gonna type out the original problem anfd see if you can tell me what i did wrong

4x + 22 = -10
-22 -22
4x = -32
-- ---
4 4
x = -8

Answer 7

2x-y+z=-4
z=5
-2x+3y-z=-10
solve by substitution
