Given the equation:
-2(6x + 5) = 110
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply need to distribute -2 to each value inside the parenthesis, and then combine similar terms.
-2(6x + 5) = 110
-12x - 10 = 110
Transpose -10 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
-12x = 110 + 10
-12x = 120
Divide both sides by -12 in order to determine the value of x.
-12x/-12 = 120/-12
x = -10
Final answer:
x = -10
