Evaluate 2x + 6 - 10x = 30

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + 6 + -10x = 30

Reorder the terms:

6 + 2x + -10x = 30

Combine like terms: 2x + -10x = -8x

6 + -8x = 30

Solving

6 + -8x = 30

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + -8x = 30 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + -8x = 30 + -6

-8x = 30 + -6

Combine like terms: 30 + -6 = 24

-8x = 24

Divide each side by '-8'.

x = -3

Simplifying

x = -3

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation.

2x+6-10x=30  Combine like terms.

-8x+6=30        Subtract 6 on both sides.

     -6  -6

-8x=24            Divide by -8 on both sides.

/-8  /-8

x=-3
