To solve for x, we can start by expanding the parentheses:

5(2x - 8) = -30
10x - 40 = -30

Next, we can add 40 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term:

10x - 40 + 40 = -30 + 40
10x = 10

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 10 to solve for x:

(10x) / 10 = 10 / 10
x = 1
