Answer:
-40
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 10) = -60
step 1 distribute the 2 to the x and 10
2 * x = 2x
2 * 10 = 20
we now have 20 + 2x = -60
step 2 subtract 20 from each side
20 - 20 cancels out
-60 - 20 = -80
we now have 2x = -80
step 3 divide each side by 2
2x / 2 = x
-80 / 2 = -40
we're left with x = -40
