Solve for x

-10-2x =-80

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

-10-2x = -80

We can start by adding 10 to both sides:

-2x = -80 + 10

Simplifying:

-2x = -70

To isolate x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -2:

x = -70 / -2

Simplifying:

x = 35

So the solution is x = 35.
