Question

The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of x for the equation6x + 10 − 4x = −4 − 11:Step 1: 6x + 10 − 4x = −4 − 11Step 2: 6x + 10 − 4x = −15Step 3: 2x + 10 = −15Which of these is most likely the next step?2x = 52x = −252x = 252x = 150

Answer 1

2x=-25

Explanation

let´s solve the equatoin

Step 1

given

$\begin{gathered} 6x+10-4x=-4-11 \\ a)add\text{ like terms in the rigth side} \\ 6x+10-4x=-15 \\ b\text{ \rparen add like terms in the left side} \\ 2x+10=-15 \end{gathered}$

Step 2

finally, to isolate the term where x is, we need subtract 10 in both sides, so

$\begin{gathered} 2x+10=-15 \\ subtract\text{ 10 in both sides} \\ 2x+10-10=-15-10 \\ 2x=-25 \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is

2x=-25
