Explanation:
Check the answer by plugging it into the original equation:
Explanation:
"distribute and simplify left side of equation"
-10x+30+8x=22
rArr-2x+30=22
"subtract 30 from both sides"
-2xcancel(+30)cancel(-30)=22-30
rArr-2x=-8
"divide both sides by "-2
(cancel(-2) x)/cancel(-2)=(-8)/(-2)
rArrx=4
color(blue)"As a check" Substitute this value into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is the solution.
-5(8-6)+(8xx4)=-10+32=22=" right side"
rArrx=4" is the solution"
