Question

is solved as follows. Supply the correct numbers to complete the solution.(1 point)
10x+13=−12
10x=

Subtract 13 from both sides.
x=

Divide both sides by 10.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 10x + 13 = -12 \):

1. Subtract 13 from both sides: \[ 10x + 13 - 13 = -12 - 13 \] This simplifies to: \[ 10x = -25 \]

2. Divide both sides by 10: \[ x = \frac{-25}{10} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -2.5 \]

So the completed steps are:

• \( 10x = -25 \)
• \( x = -2.5 \)
