73

−73

2

-2​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-2

Step by step explanation

6×(5x-2)=-72

6×(-10-2)=-72

6×-12=-72

Answer 2

Answer: D) -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

÷6  [6(5x−2)=−72)] ÷ 6

5x-2=-12

5x=-12+2

5x=-10

x = -2

Check if left side equals right side

LS                RS

6(5x-2)        -72

6(5(-2)-2)

-72              -72

LS        =      RS

Therefore, x = -2
