-2(-5x - 10) + 30 = -110
ok first u r going to have to distribute
\[−2(−5x−10)+30=−110\] Simplify both sides and distribute: \[−2(−5x−10)+30=−110\] distribute: \[(−2)(−5x)+(−2)(−10)+30=−110\] \[10x+20+30=−110\] Combine like terms: \[(10x)+(20+30)=−110\] \[10x+50=−110\] Subtact 50 from both sides \[10x+50−50=−110−50\]\[10x=−160\] ÷10 by both sides \[10x/10=-160/10\] So, \[x=-16\]
dang @supie
Yeah.
