Answer:
[tex]x =\frac{-26}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3x+32−7x=−2(5x+10)
3x+32+−7x=(−2)(5x)+(−2)(10)(Distribute)
3x+32+−7x=−10x+−20
(3x+−7x)+(32)=−10x−20(Combine Like Terms)
−4x+32=−10x−20
−4x+32=−10x−20
Step 2: Add 10x to both sides.
−4x+32+10x=−10x−20+10x
6x+32=−20
Step 3: Subtract 32 from both sides.
6x+32−32=−20−32
6x=−52
Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.
