  • 5x+2(2x-23)=-154

  • 5x+4x-46=-154

  • 9x-46=-154

  • 9x=-154+46

  • 9x=-108

  • x=[tex]\sf{\dfrac{-108}{9} }[/tex]

  • x=-12

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(2x - 23) = -154

Distribute;

5x + 4x - 46 = -154

Collect like terms

9x - 46 = -154

Add 46 to both sides;

9x = -108

Divide both sides by 9

x = -12
