Solve 5(x+5)+2(-10-14x)=-110

$$5 ( x + 5 ) + 2 ( - 10 - 14 x ) = - 110$$

Solve for x

$$x=5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+5.

$$5x+25+2\left(-10-14x\right)=-110$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -10-14x.

$$5x+25-20-28x=-110$$

Subtract 20 from 25 to get 5.

$$5x+5-28x=-110$$

Combine 5x and -28x to get -23x.

$$-23x+5=-110$$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$$-23x=-110-5$$

Subtract 5 from -110 to get -115.

$$-23x=-115$$

Divide both sides by -23.

$$x=\frac{-115}{-23}$$

Divide -115 by -23 to get 5.

$$x=5$$
