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
