To solve for x, we need to simplify the equation step by step:
-2(4x - 10) - 15 = -11
First, distribute the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-8x + 20 - 15 = -11
Combine like terms:
-8x + 5 = -11
Next, subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the variable:
-8x = -11 - 5
-8x = -16
Now, divide both sides of the equation by -8:
x = -16 / -8
x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2.
