Sandra Murillo · Answer 1

- 5 (x-4) = - 30 Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

- 5 (x-4) = - 30

Simplify: (Show steps) - 5x + 20 = - 30 Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides. - 5x + 20 - 20 = - 30 - 20 - 5x = - 50 Step 3: Divide both sides by - 5. - 5x - 5 = - 50 - 5

x = 10

Let's solve your equation step-by-step. - 5 (x-4) = - 30

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. - 5 (x-4) = - 30

Simplify: (Show steps) - 5x + 20 = - 30

Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides. - 5x + 20 - 20 = - 30 - 20 - 5x = - 50

Step 3: Divide both sides by - 5. - 5x - 5 = - 50 - 5 x = 10
