When x = 5, the value of the expression –2(x – 10) is
The given expression is
\(-2(x-10)\)
And we have to find the value of the expression when x =5
And for that, we plug 5 for x in the given expression. That is
\(-2(5-10)\)
And difference of 5 and 10 is -5. So we will get
\(=-2*-5 =10\)
So when x =5, the value of the expression is 10 .
Answer:
The value of the expression at x=5 is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is \(-2(x-10)\)
Let us simplify this expression.
Distribute -2 over the parentheses, we get
\(-2x+20\)
Now, substitute x = 5, we get
\(-2(5)+20\)
On simplifying, we get
\(-10+20\\=10\)
The value of the expression at x=5 is 10
