To find the solution to the equation \(-2x + 10 = -30\), we need to solve for \(x\).

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ -2x + 10 = -30 \]

  2. Subtract 10 from both sides: \[ -2x = -30 - 10 \] \[ -2x = -40 \]

  3. Divide both sides by -2: \[ x = \frac{-40}{-2} \] \[ x = 20 \]

The solution to the equation is \(x = 20\).

So, the correct answer is D: 20.
