Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation 4(x - 8) + 10 = -10 and are asked to find the solution, solution meaning to get x alone.
To do so, first distribute the 4 on the outside of the parenthesis to both values on the inside of the parenthesis :
4(x - 8)
(4 * x - 4 * 8)
4x - 32
4x - 32 + 10 = -10
Now combine like terms :
4x - 22 = -10
Now it's time to get x alone, first get rid of -22 by adding 22 to both sides :
4x = 12
Now get x alone by dividing both sides by 4 :
x = 3
