Combine like terms: question_prompt: Solve for x in the equation −6x+10−9=8−2(9x+4).
Distribute on right side: First, simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms. On the left side, combine 10 and −9 to get 1. So, −6x+1=8−2(9x+4).
Combine like terms on right side: Next, distribute the −2 on the right side of the equation to both 9x and 4. This gives us −6x+1=8−18x−8.
Combine like terms on right side: Next, distribute the −2 on the right side of the equation to both 9x and 4. This gives us −6x+1=8−18x−8. Now, combine like terms on the right side. 8 and −8 cancel each other out, leaving −6x+1=−18x.
