Hey there!
The Distributive Property states the following:
a(b+c)=ab+ac
Now simplify:
10-2(x-7)=4(x-5)
10-2x+14=4x-20
[tex]\bigstar[/tex] A negative times a negative is a positive
10-2x+14=4x-20
Subtract 10 from both sides:
-2x+14=4x-30
Subtract 4x from both sides:
-2x-4x+14=-30
-6x+14=-30
Subtract 14 from both sides:
-6x=-30-14
-6x=-44
Divide both sides by -6:
x=44/6
x=22/3 (In simplest form)
Hope everything is clear.
Let me know if you have any questions!
