Question

-2(x+5)=4 use distributive property

Answer 1

Answer:x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x)+(-2)(5)=4

-2x-10=4

-2x=14

x=-7

Answer 2

Answer:

-2x - 10 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property is were you distribute (give out) this to every one

(-2 time x) + (-2 times 5) = 4

-2x - 10 = 4

now solving for x all you do is add ten to both sides --> -2x = 14

now divide by -2 to get x alone --> x = 14/-2 = X = -7
