Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we need to simplify and isolate the variable x in the equation:
-2(4x - 10) - 15 = -11
First, distribute -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-8x + 20 - 15 = -11
Combine like terms:
-8x + 5 = -11
Next, isolate the x term by subtracting 5 from both sides:
-8x = -11 - 5
-8x = -16
Finally, divide both sides by -8 to solve for x:
x = (-16) / (-8)
x = 2
Therefore, the solution for x is 2.
