Question

(note: i have the answer, i only need the steps! i messed up!!)
2(x+5)-4x+8=16

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

First you distribute so you get

2x + 10 - 4x + 8 = 16

Then you add the stuff together that you can add and get

-2x + 18 = 16

Then you subtract 18 on the left side to get it to 0 and you have to do the some to the other side so it becomes

-2x = -2

Then you divide each side by -2 giving you

x = 1
