Step by step how to solve 4x+2=5 (x+10)

x = - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2 = 5 (x + 10)

expand the 5 (x+10)

4x + 2 = 5x + 50

-2 both sides

4x + 2 - 2 = 5x + 50 - 2

simplify

4x = 5x + 48

-5x both sides

4x - 5x = 5x + 48 - 5x

simplify

-x = 48

: (-1) both sides

-x : (-1) = 48 : (-1)

simplify

x = - 48

The answer is x = - 48.
