Question

How do i simplify -2(x+3)=-10

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

distribute -2 to x and positive 3... -2x-6=-10

isolate the variable, +6 on both sides... -2x=-4

get the variable alone, divide -2 on both sides... x=2

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

-2(x + 3) = - 10

-2x - 6 = - 10

2x + 6 = 10

2x = 10 - 6

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2
