Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 5(2x - 8) = -30 \), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides by 5: \[ 2x - 8 = \frac{-30}{5} \] \[ 2x - 8 = -6 \]

2. Add 8 to both sides: \[ 2x = -6 + 8 \] \[ 2x = 2 \]

3. Divide both sides by 2: \[ x = \frac{2}{2} \] \[ x = 1 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 1 \).
