-5x-5x=-116-4

-10x=-120

10x=120

x=12

2. 3(8+5x)=-156

24+15x=-156

15x=-180

x= -12

thats all )))

breakdown:

4= 10x-116

120= 10x

x=12

2) 3(8+5x)= -156 >>> x= -12

Breakdown:

24+15x= -156

15x= -180

x= -12

-10 x = -120

x = 12

4= 10x-116

120= 10x

12=x

2) 3(8+5x) = -156

24+15x= -156

15x= -180

x= -12

i think that’s rite..if it’s not, sorry!! xDD;

-5x -4

-10x=-120

x=12

3(8+5x) = -156

3*8 + 3*5x=-156

24+15x=-156

-24

15x=-180

x= -12

4-5x = 5x-116

120 -5x = 5x —> added 116 to both sides

120 = 10x —>added 5x to both sides

12 =x —> divided both sides by 10

3(8+5x) = -156

24+15x = -156 —> distributed the 3

15x = -180 —> subtracted 24 from both sides

x = -12 —> divided both sides by 15

2. x= -12
