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
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
