Exercise 45 Page 259

Distribute 2, then continue solving the equation.

x=4

Practice makes perfect

On the left side of the equation, we have a product that can be simplified using the Distributive Property.

2(x-5)=2-x
2x-10=2-x

Now, we can continue to solve using the Properties of Equality.

2x-10=2-x
2x-10+x=2-x+x
3x-10=2
3x-10+10=2+10
3x=12
3x/3=12/3
x=4
