Answer

The solution to the equation 8x−30=−2(x+5) is x=2.

Steps

Step 1 ：Distribute the -2 on the right side of the equation to both x and 5, we get 8x−30=−2x−10.

Step 2 ：Combine like terms on both sides of the equation, we get 10x=20.

Step 3 ：Subtract the x term on the right side from both sides of the equation to get all x terms on the left side, we get 10x=20.

Step 4 ：Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x to solve for x, we get x=2.

Step 5 ：Substitute x = 2 into the original equation, both sides of the equation should be equal, we get −14=−14.

Step 6 ：The solution to the equation 8x−30=−2(x+5) is x=2.
