Question

Put the steps in order for solving the equation: −2(4x+8)+2x = −5x+10
within 4 steps

Answer 1

can you answer with the following options
distribute
combine like terms
get constants together on one side
get x terms together on one side

Answer 2

are they in correct order?

Answer 3

Can you answer it with the following answers

Distributive
Combine like terms
Division of equality
Addition of equality

Answer 4

1. Distribute the -2 to both terms inside the parentheses: -8x - 16 + 2x = -5x + 10
2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation: -6x - 16 = -5x + 10
3. Add 5x to both sides of the equation to eliminate the variable on the right side: -6x - 16 + 5x = 10
4. Combine like terms on the left side of the equation: -x - 16 = 10

Answer 5

1. Distribute: −8x - 16 + 2x = −5x + 10
2. Combine like terms: -6x - 16 = -5x + 10
3. Get constants together on one side: -6x + 5x = 10 + 16
4. Get x terms together on one side: -x = 26

Answer 6

Apologies for the confusion. Here are the steps in the correct order:

1. Distribute: −2(4x+8) + 2x = −5x + 10
2. Combine like terms: −8x - 16 + 2x = −5x + 10
3. Get x terms together on one side: −8x + 2x + 5x = 10 + 16
4. Get constants together on one side: -1x = 26
