Complete each step in the following solution.
10x + 8 = 3(x – 2)

10x + 8 = 3x ___
7x = ___
x = -2

Respuesta :

A:  10x + 8 = 3(x – 2)

     10x + 8 = 3x – 6

     7x =  – 14

     x = -2

Step 1 : Multiplying 3 with -2, we get -6

Step 2 : Subtract -6 and 8 , we get -14

Step 3 : We get x = -2

What is an equation?

"An equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equal sign. Solving an equation containing variable consists of determining which values of the variables make the equality true."

Given equation

10x + 8 = 3(x – 2)

In this step by multiplying 3 with -2, we get -6

10x + 8 = 3x - 6

Subtract the variables

Subtract -6 and 8 , we get -14

7x = -6 - 8

7x = -14

Divide with 7 on both sides, we get

x = -2

Hence these are the following steps to get x = -2

Step 1 : Multiplying 3 with -2, we get -6

Step 2 : Subtract -6 and 8 , we get -14

Step 3 : We get x = -2
