Solve 10(2x+2)=+1

$$10 ( 2 x + 2 ) = + 1$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{19}{20}=-0.95$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 10.

$$2x+2=\frac{1}{10}$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$2x=\frac{1}{10}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{20}{10}.

$$2x=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{20}{10}$$

Since \frac{1}{10} and \frac{20}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{1-20}{10}$$

Subtract 20 from 1 to get -19.

$$2x=-\frac{19}{10}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{19}{10}}{2}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{19}{10}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-19}{10\times 2}$$

Multiply 10 and 2 to get 20.

$$x=\frac{-19}{20}$$

Fraction \frac{-19}{20} can be rewritten as -\frac{19}{20} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{19}{20}$$
