Question

What is the value of x, if, -2(5+6x) + 16 = -90 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

-2(5+6x)+16=-90

=-10-12x+16=-90

=-12x+6=-90

=-12x=-90-6

=-12x=-96

=x=-96/-12

=x=8

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(5 + 6x) + 16 = -90

Start by distributing -2 inside the parentheses. This means you will multiply everything inside the parentheses (5 + 6x) by -2.

-10 - 12x + 16 = -90

Simplify the left side of the equation by combining like terms.

6 - 12x = -90

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing the variable x and to move all other terms to the other side (right) of the equation.

-12x = -96

Divide both sides of the equation by -12 to isolate and solve for x.

x = 8
