What is the solution to - 2 (3x - 9) + 5x = - 10?

-8

8

28

X = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the parenthesis by - 2 to get

-6x + 18 + 5x = - 10

collect the like terms, - 6 + 5x

-x + 18 = - 10

subtract 18 from both sides to get X alone

-x = - 10 - 18

-x = - 28

change the signs

x = 28

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the parenthesis on the left side by - 2

- 6x + 18 + 5x = - 10

- x + 18 = - 10 (subtract 18 from both sides)

- x = - 28 (multiply both sides by - 1)

x = 28
