Which is a solution to the equation `-2x+10=-30`?

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-2x + 10 = -30\), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 10 from both sides: \[ -2x + 10 - 10 = -30 - 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ -2x = -40 \]

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

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