Question

Solve: 2(x + 5 ) = -10

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered}{\underline{\underline{\maltese{\Huge{\textsf{\textbf{\purple{Solution: }}}}}}}}\end{gathered}$

$\red\dashrightarrow\sf{ 2(x + 5) = - 10}$

$\red\dashrightarrow\sf{ 2x + 10 = - 10}$

$\red\dashrightarrow\sf{ 2x = - 10 - 10}$

$\red\dashrightarrow\sf{ 2x = - 20}$

$\red\dashrightarrow\sf{ x = - 10}$

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

${\boxed{\boxed{\pink{\underline{\green{\mathscr { x=-10}}} }} }}}$

EXPLANATION:-

Given linear equation:-

2(x+5)=-10

Let's multiply the bracket using distributive law,

2x+10=-10         [ a(b+c)=ab+ac ]

2x=-10-10       [Transfer to L.H.S}

2x=-20

x=-20/2

x=-10
