Question

Solve 2x + 26 = 2(5 – 3x)=1/10

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2.0125

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Using the distributive property, simplify the parenthesis

2x + 26 = 2(5 - 3x) = .1

2x + 26 = 10 - 6x = .1

2. Use the subtraction property of equality, subtract 26 from 10

2x= -16 - 6x = .1

3. Repeat this for the 6x and .1 as well

8x = -16.1

4. Simplify

x = -2.0125
