Given an equation below and evaluate the process:
[tex]5(3x+4)=-10[/tex]
Step 1: Multiplication property of equality inorder to open the bracket
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5(3x+4)=-10 \\ 15x+20=-10 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 2: Subtraction property of equality:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15x+20=-10 \\ \text{subtract both side by 20} \\ 15x+20-20=-10-20 \\ 15x=-30 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 3: Division property of equality:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15x=-30 \\ \text{divide both side by 15} \\ \frac{15x}{15}=-\frac{30}{15} \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 4: Simplfying:
[tex]x=-2[/tex]
Therefore the correct value of x = -2
