2\left(10x-95-10x\right)-\left(10x-55\right)=2\times 0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
2\left(-95\right)-\left(10x-55\right)=2\times 0
Combine 10x and -10x to get 0.
-190-\left(10x-55\right)=2\times 0
Multiply 2 and -95 to get -190.
-190-10x-\left(-55\right)=2\times 0
To find the opposite of 10x-55, find the opposite of each term.
-190-10x+55=2\times 0
The opposite of -55 is 55.
-135-10x=2\times 0
Add -190 and 55 to get -135.
-135-10x=0
Multiply 2 and 0 to get 0.
-10x=135
Add 135 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{135}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
x=-\frac{27}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{135}{-10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
