Answer:
X=x−4
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x−3)+X=5x−2(x+5)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x−3.
2x−6+X=5x−2(x+5)
Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+5.
2x−6+X=5x−2x−10
Combine 5x and −2x to get 3x.
2x−6+X=3x−10
Subtract 2x from both sides.
−6+X=3x−10−2x
Combine 3x and −2x to get x.
−6+X=x−10
Add 6 to both sides.
X=x−10+6
Add −10 and 6 to get −4.
X=x−4
