Question 675525
{{{9-5(2x+1)=-28}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{9-10x-5=-28}}} Distribute.



{{{-10x+4=-28}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-10x=-28-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{-10x=-32}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-32)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=16/5}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=16/5}}}
