Question

How do you solve `-10- 6x = - 2x + 2`?

Answer 1

X = -3

Explanation:

1) Get `x` to one side, and subtract -2x from -6x, you should get -4x
`=>−10−6x=−2x+2`
`=>−10−6x-(-2x)=+2`
`=>−10−6x+2x=2`
`=>-10 -4x = 2`

2) Then subtract -10 from 2, you should get 12
`=>-10 -4x = 2`
`=> -4x = 2 - (-10)`
`=> -4x = 2 +10`
`=> -4x = 12`

3) Divide 12 by -4x
`=> -4x = 12`
`=> x = 12/(-4)`
`=>x= -3`
