-2x + 10 = -30?

1 answer

To solve the equation -2x + 10 = -30, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

First, we can start by subtracting 10 from both sides to get rid of the constant term on the left side of the equation:

-2x + 10 - 10 = -30 - 10

-2x = -40

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for x:

(-2x)/-2 = (-40)/-2

x = 20

Therefore, the solution to the equation -2x + 10 = -30 is x = 20.
