Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
−25= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (10x−2)+3x
−25=([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex])(10x)+(
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
)(−2)+3x(Distribute)
−25=5x+−1+3x
−25=(5x+3x)+(−1)(Combine Like Terms)
−25=8x+−1
−25=8x−1
Step 2: Flip the equation.
8x−1=−25
Step 3: Add 1 to both sides.
8x−1+1=−25+1
8x=−24
Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.
8x ÷ 8 = −24 ÷ 8
