Question 858938
{{{-2(4x+5)=8x+10}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-8x-10=8x+10}}} Distribute.



{{{-8x=8x+10+10}}} Add {{{10}}} to both sides.



{{{-8x-8x=10+10}}} Subtract {{{8x}}} from both sides.



{{{-16x=10+10}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-16x=20}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(20)/(-16)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-16}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-5/4}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-5/4}}}
