Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 2) + 5(x + 5) = 4(x-8) + 2(x - 2)

2x+4+5x+25=4x-32+2x-4

7x+29=6x-36

7x-6X=-36-29

X=-65

Answer:

x = -65

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 2) + 5(x + 5) = 4(x-8) + 2(x - 2) ​

Distribute:

2(x + 2): 2x + 4

5(x + 5): 5x + 25

=

4(x - 8): 4x - 32

2(x - 2): 2x - 4

Combine like terms:

(2x + 4) + (5x + 25) = (4x - 32) + (2x - 4)

5x + 2x: 7x              =  4x + 2x: 6x

4 + 25 = 29             =  -32 - 4: -36

7x + 29 = 6x - 36

Now we want to separate like terms,

subtract 29 from both sides

subtract 6x from both sides

7x + 29 - 29 - 6x = 6x - 29 - 6x- 36

7x - 6x = - 29 - 36

x = -65
