Question

-x - 10 - 4x = -5 (x + 2)

Answer 1

Solving this question step by step-
Find like terms-
- x - 10 - 4x = - 5(x + 2)
- 5x - 10 = - 5(x + 2)

Distribute-
- 5x - 10 = - 5(x + 2)
- 5x - 10 = - 5x - 10

Add 10 on both sides-

- 5x - 10 = - 5x - 10
- 5x - 10 + 10 = - 5x - 10 + 10

Simplify-
- 5x = - 5x

Add 5x to both sides of the equation
- 5x = - 5x
- 5x + 5x = - 5x + 5x

Simplify (by combining like terms again)
0 =0 will be your answer
