Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify
2(x + -5) + x = x + (-6)
Step 2: Solve for x
- [Distributive Property] Distribute 2: 2x - 10 + x = x - 6
- [Addition] Combine like terms (x): 3x - 10 = x - 6
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract x on both sides: 2x - 10 = -6
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 10 on both sides: 2x = 4
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides: x = 2
Answer:
x=2 ( see Image below)
Step-by-step explanation:
cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation
2(x-5)=-6
move the constant to the right -hand side and change its sign
2x= -6 +10
Calculate the sum
2x=4
divide both sides of the equation by 2
x=2
