Answer:

Exact Form: x=11/2

Decimal Form: x=5.5

Mixed Number From: x= 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer:  x = 11/2   or   x = 5.5

Steps:  -5(2x - 10) = 2(x - 8)

Expand: -10x + 50 = 2x - 16

Subtract 50 from both sides: -10x + 50 - 50 = 2x - 16 - 50

Simplify: -10x = 2x - 66

Subtract 2x from both sides: -10x - 2x = 2x - 66 - 2x

Simplify: -12x = -66

Divide both sides by 12:  -12x ÷ 12  =  -66 ÷ 12

Simplify: x = 11/2   or    5.5
