x=25
Evaluate
(110−x)−(130−2x)=5
Simplify
More Steps

Evaluate
(110−x)−(130−2x)
Remove the parentheses
110−x−(130−2x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
110−x−130+2x
Subtract the numbers
−20−x+2x
Add the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−x+2x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−1+2)x
Add the numbers
x
−20+x
−20+x=5
