Answer: x=2
Explanation:
6x - 10(x -7) = 16x + 30 First apply the distributive property on the left side.
6x - 10x + 70 = 16x + 30 Combine like terms on the left side
-4x + 70 = 16x + 30 Subtract 30 from both sides
-30 -30
-4x + 40 = 16x Add 4x to both sides
+4x +4x
40 = 20x Divide both sides by 20
x = 2
