To solve the equation \(-10x - 5 = -115\), follow these steps: 1. **Add 5 to both sides** to isolate the term with \(x\): \[ -10x - 5 + 5 = -115 + 5 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ -10x = -110 \] 2. **Divide both sides by -10** to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{-110}{-10} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ x = 11 \] So, the solution is \(x = 11\).

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-10x - 5 = -115\), follow these steps:

Add 5 to both sides to isolate the term with \(x\):

\[ -10x - 5 + 5 = -115 + 5 \]

Simplifying this gives:

\[ -10x = -110 \]
Divide both sides by -10 to solve for \(x\):

\[ x = \frac{-110}{-10} \]

Simplifying this gives:

\[ x = 11 \]

So, the solution is \(x = 11\).
