7.03) an equation is shown below: 5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15 write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.

So firstly, I would foil 5(2x - 8).

Next, I would combine like terms:

Next, I would add 25 on each side:

Finally, I would divide 10 on each side, and my answer would be x = 1.

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
