Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
20 = -2x-6(-5x+20)
distribute
20 = -2x -6*(-5x) -6*20
20 = -2x +30x -120
combine like terms
20 = 28x-120
add 120 to each side
20+120 = 28x-120+120
140 = 28x
divide by 28
140/28 = 28x/28
140/28 = x
5 =x
Answer:
x=5 hope this helps feel free to ask any more question i would be glad to help
Step-by-step explanation:
-6(-5x+20)-2x=20
move all terms to the left:
-6(-5x+20)-2x-(20)=0
add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-2x-6(-5x+20)-20=0
multiply parentheses
-2x+30x-120-20=0
add all the numbers together, and all the variables
28x-140=0
move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
28x=140
x=140/28
x=5
