If 2(x – 5) = –11, then x = ?

Sagot :

first you distribute. so, 2(x - 5) = - 11
so since you distributed it would be, 2x - 10 = -11 
then you add 10 to both sides, so now its 2x=-1
now we divide, [tex] \frac{2x}{2} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{-1}{2} [/tex]
so now you get : x = -0.5
-------------------------------------------------------
Lets check. 
2(-0.5 - 5) = -11
so first we distribute, 
-1 - 10 = -11
does -1 - 10 = -11?? Yup!! So x= -0.5 is your answer, i hope i helped! :D
