Bot GPT 3.5 To solve this equation, we will start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
5(-2x + 4) = 40
Distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-10x + 20 = 40
Next, we'll isolate the variable x by subtracting 20 from both sides of the equation:
-10x = 40 - 20
-10x = 20
Finally, we'll divide both sides of the equation by -10 to solve for x:
x = 20 / -10
x = -2
So the solution to the equation is x = -2.
