10 (x-2) = - 20

Solve

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

10 (x-2) = -20

10x-20=-20

add 20 on both sides.

10x=0

10 times 0 = 0

x=0

10 (x - 2) = - 20 divide both sides by 10

x - 2 = - 2 add 2 to both sides

x = 0

othrer method

10 (x - 2) = - 20 use distributive property a (b - c) = ab - ac

10x - (10) (2) = - 20

10x - 20 = - 20 add 20 to both sides

10x = 0 divide both sides by 10

x = 0
