1. Distribute the -2 to both terms inside the parentheses: -8x - 16 + 2x = -5x + 10
2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation: -6x - 16 = -5x + 10
3. Add 5x to both sides of the equation to eliminate the variable on the right side: -6x - 16 + 5x = 10
4. Combine like terms on the left side of the equation: -x - 16 = 10
Put the steps in order for solving the equation: −2(4x+8)+2x = −5x+10

1. Distribute: −8x - 16 + 2x = −5x + 10
2. Combine like terms: -6x - 16 = -5x + 10
3. Get constants together on one side: -6x + 5x = 10 + 16
4. Get x terms together on one side: -x = 26
2. Combine like terms: -6x - 16 = -5x + 10
3. Get constants together on one side: -6x + 5x = 10 + 16
4. Get x terms together on one side: -x = 26
are they in correct order?
Apologies for the confusion. Here are the steps in the correct order:
1. Distribute: −2(4x+8) + 2x = −5x + 10
2. Combine like terms: −8x - 16 + 2x = −5x + 10
3. Get x terms together on one side: −8x + 2x + 5x = 10 + 16
4. Get constants together on one side: -1x = 26
1. Distribute: −2(4x+8) + 2x = −5x + 10
2. Combine like terms: −8x - 16 + 2x = −5x + 10
3. Get x terms together on one side: −8x + 2x + 5x = 10 + 16
4. Get constants together on one side: -1x = 26
