Question

Solve each equation: -5(5x+5)+3(5x+3)=-4x-6x

Answer 1

x= -1.118

Explanation:

Firstly you need to start with the bracket

-5(5x +5) + 3(5x +3)

=( -25x +25) + (15x +9)

= -25x +25 +15x +9= -4x -6x

secondly you join the like terms together

25+9= -4x -6x +25x -15x

34= -38x

-38x ÷ 34

x= -1.118
