Question

17-5(2x-9)=-(-6x+10)+4 I next this to be explained to me please

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's assume you're solving for x

Your equation:

17 - 5 (2x - 9) = -(-6x + 10) + 4

Distribute the -5 and the - 

-5 · 2x ; -5 · -9

Simplify

-10x + 45

Let's put a 1 by the negative sign, it can help you multiply easier.

-1 · -6x ; -1 · 10

Simplify

6x - 10

Simplify

17 - 10x + 45 = 6x - 10 + 4

Combine like terms

17 + 45 = 62 ; -10 + 4 = -6

Simplify

62 - 10x = 6x - 6

Distribute the x terms to one side, try and get rid of negative numbers.

62 - 10x + 10x = 6x + 10x - 6

Simplify

62 = 16x - 6

Add the 6 to the other side.

62 + 6= 16x - 6 + 6

Simplify

70 = 16x

Get x all by itself ; divide by 16

70/16 = 16x/16

4.375 = x
