The solution of the equation is x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Steps of solving a simple equation of one variable:
- Simplify the two sides of the equation if it necessary
- Put the variable in one side and the numerical term in the other side
- Divide the both sides by the coefficient of the variable to find its value
∵ 8(x - 5) + 2x = -10
- Multiply the bract (x - 5) by 8 to simplify the left hand side
∵ 8(x) - 8(5) + 2x = -10
∴ 8x - 40 + 2x = -10
- Add the like terms in the left hand side
∴ 10x - 40 = -10
- Add 40 to both sides to separate the variable in the left hand
side and the numerical term in the right hand side
∴ 10x = 30
- Divide both sides by 10 (coefficient of x) to find the value of x
∴ x = 3
The solution of the equation is x = 3
