Question 318660


{{{-2x-10=4+5x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-2x=4+5x+10}}} Add {{{10}}} to both sides.



{{{-2x-5x=4+10}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



{{{-7x=4+10}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-7x=14}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(14)/(-7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.
