Question

–( x – 10) <10

can someone explain how to solve this ( 10 points )

Answer 1

Hi there!

To solve this, we need to distribute the negative symbol into the parenthesis and simplify to solve for x.

-x + 10 < 10

Now, we simplify.

-x < 0
x < 0

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

all you do is subtract 10 from each side. outside of the parentheses is an imaginary -1, so you would do distributive property & the -10 would turn positive. the equation would then be:

-x+10<10
-10 -10
the solution would be : -x < 0
