Let's first simplify the equation by distributing the 5 on the left side:
5(-10) - 5(2x) = -3x + 26-50 - 10x = -3x + 26
Next, let's combine like terms on the left side:
-10x - 50 = -3x + 26
Now, let's move all the terms involving x to one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 3x to both sides and adding 50 to both sides:
-10x + 3x - 50 = -3x + 3x + 26 + 50-7x - 50 = 76
Finally, let's solve for x by adding 50 to both sides and then dividing by -7:
-7x = 126x = -126/7x = -18
Let's first simplify the equation by distributing the 5 on the left side:
5(-10) - 5(2x) = -3x + 26
-50 - 10x = -3x + 26
Next, let's combine like terms on the left side:
-10x - 50 = -3x + 26
Now, let's move all the terms involving x to one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 3x to both sides and adding 50 to both sides:
-10x + 3x - 50 = -3x + 3x + 26 + 50
-7x - 50 = 76
Finally, let's solve for x by adding 50 to both sides and then dividing by -7:
-7x = 126
x = -126/7
x = -18
