Question
Solve the equation
x=−7354
Alternative Form
x≈−0.005442
Evaluate
10x−8=20x×74
Multiply the terms
10x−8=1480x
Move the variable to the left side
10x−8−1480x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
10x−1480x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(10−1480)x
Subtract the numbers
−1470x
−1470x−8=0
Move the constant to the right side
−1470x=0+8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−1470x=8
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
1470x=−8
Divide both sides
14701470x=1470−8
Divide the numbers
x=1470−8
