Solve -2(x-5)=4x-20

Evaluate

- 2 (x - 5) = 4 x - 20

Expand the expression

More Steps

- 2 x + 10 = 4 x - 20

Move the expression to the left side

- 2 x + 10 - 4 x = - 20

Move the expression to the right side

- 2 x - 4 x = - 20 - 10

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 6 x = - 20 - 10

Add and subtract

- 6 x = - 30

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

6 x = 30

Divide both sides

\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{30}{6}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{30}{6}
