10x-2(4+5x)=8 Answer by cbcrawford978(7) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 10x-2(4+5x)=8......Use the Distributive Property (remember that there is a minus sign in front of the "2" ,so you have to distribute it as a "-2")
10x-8-10x=8...."10x" and "-10x" cancel out
-8=8..........NO SOLUTION
